The Steakhouse Stakeout That Ensnared Bob Menendez

New York Times: “The couple who had arrived late appeared to be on a date. She was wearing a black dress, and during their meal he moved around their table and used a camera to, it appeared, snap her picture.”

“But in reality, court testimony on Tuesday showed, he was photographing the people behind her, seated at the senator’s table. The couple were members of an F.B.I. surveillance team, and they had deliberately sat near Mr. Menendez and his group, which also included an Egyptian government official.”
