A psychiatrist who evaluated New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez will not be allowed to testify at his corruption trial about "two significant traumatic events" in his life that his lawyers say explain the hundreds of thousands in cash investigators found in his home, a judge said Tuesday. 

U.S. District Judge Sidney Stein barred testimony from the psychiatrist, Karen Rosenbaum, saying that some of her sworn statements would be "impermissibly based on inadmissible hearsay." ...

Rosenbaum could testify that Menendez "suffered intergenerational trauma stemming from his family's experience as refugees, who had their funds confiscated by the Cuban government and were left with only a small amount of cash that they had stashed away in their home," his attorneys said in a letter to prosecutors last month.
