The trial of Democrat Senator Robert Menendez includes plenty of models.

Menendez is currently facing bribery and corruption charges, and the best part includes several smoke show models who are involved.

From The New York Post:

Menendez and Dr. Salomon Melgen, 63, are on trial on charges that the senator did official favors for the ophthalmologist in exchange for lavish gifts, including all-expense-paid vacations and $750,000 in campaign contributions.

In exchange, Menendez advocated for his married pal’s professional and personal affairs, including help securing visas for three of his foreign flings, prosecutors have said.

The Garden State pol also pressed for visas for Brazilian beauty-turned-lawyer Juliana Lopes Leite and Ukrainian model Svitlana Buchyk, prosecutors have said.

Here are a few photos of the models, who are now taking the stand in the trial, at the center of the case. Trust me, they won’t disappoint your expectations.

I hate to say it, but I’m not sure we can convict anybody who uses their influence to help out models. It would just go against everything America represents. As everybody knows, nobody is a fiercer defender of women’s rights than I am, and I think Menendez did what any American man would have.

What type of people are we if we turn a blind eye on foreign women in search of a better life. There is zero chance I’m convicting if I’m that jury now knowing about these women. It’s the ultimate get out of jail free card.

I’d like to believe he did it out the kindness out of his heart and not for bribes. I want to live in an America where attractive women are helped out by elected officials. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
