Bob Menendez’s wife sold $400K in gold bars months before his office admitted he was facing federal probe
Sen. Bob Menendez’s new wife cashed in up to $400,000 worth of gold bars — despite having faced foreclosure just three years earlier.
The sale, last spring, was months before his office publicly admitted that the New Jersey Democrat was facing a new federal investigation.
Nadine Arslanian, 56, sold the gold between April 7, 2022, and June 16, 2022, according to the senator’s annual public disclosures. It is equivalent to as much as 13 pounds of pure gold.
The sale was a remarkable financial turnaround for Arslanian, who had reportedly been struggling financially, even facing foreclosure on her home, before she married Menendez in 2020.
