Gold Bar Bob Menendez will claim he hoarded because parents fled Cuba — putting family history on trial

New Jersey senator Rob Menendez is to launch a “Finding Your Roots” defense in his federal corruption trial — claiming his Cuban heritage has given him PTSD.

The indicted Democrat will claim he suffers from “intergenerational post-traumatic stress disorder” thanks to his parents’ experience in Cuba before he was even born, federal court papers say.

The claim will form a key part of his defense once a jury is sworn in at Manhattan federal court, where jury selection began Monday.
