Senator Bob Menendez and his wife Nadine are facing 18 criminal charges related to an alleged bribery scheme. This scheme involved the couple receiving gold bars and cash in exchange for favors that Menendez provided to his wealthy acquaintances. Additionally, Menendez has also been accused of acting as a foreign agent for the Egyptian government.
The federal government has requested a Manhattan judge to postpone the corruption trial involving Senator Bob Menendez and his wife due to health reasons. The trial start was initially set for May 6, but prosecutors have asked for a delay until July or August. This request comes after Nadine Menendez’s lawyers informed the court about her serious health condition that will require surgery within four to six weeks.
In response to Nadine’s health concerns, the prosecutors are supporting a two-month delay in the trial. They acknowledge the seriousness of the situation and agree that the Garden State Democrat should be able to prioritize his wife’s health. However, they expressed opposition to an indefinite postponement of the trial.
