**Bribery Trial of Senator Bob Menendez's Wife Postponed**
**Nadine Menendez Facing Health Concerns**
**Indicted on Charges of Accepting Bribes**
On March 5, 2024, Nadine Menendez, the wife of Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey, was charged with obstruction of justice in connection with her husband's bribery trial. Prosecutors allege that her attorneys lied about payments made by two businessmen on her behalf. The charges stem from an indictment alleging that the senator and his wife accepted bribes worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, gold bars, and a luxury car.
The trial was scheduled to begin on March 8th, but has been indefinitely postponed by the presiding judge. The postponement was granted due to Nadine Menendez's health concerns. She is currently undergoing treatment for stage 3 breast cancer.
The charges against Nadine Menendez and her husband are part of a larger investigation into corruption in New Jersey. The senator has pleaded not guilty to the charges and has denied any wrongdoing. The trial is expected to resume once Nadine Menendez's health condition improves.
