Bribery and Corruption Trial of Nadine Arslanian Menendez Delayed Indefinitely
Senator Bob Menendez and His Wife Face Charges
Trial Postponed Due to Legal Issues
The bribery and corruption trial of Nadine Arslanian Menendez, the wife of US Senator Bob Menendez, has been delayed indefinitely due to legal issues.
Bob Menendez, a Democrat from New Jersey, and his wife were indicted in 2017 on charges related to allegedly accepting bribes from a Florida eye doctor in exchange for political favors. The trial was originally scheduled to begin in September 2019, but it has been repeatedly postponed due to legal challenges.
In a recent filing, prosecutors requested a delay in the trial because they need additional time to prepare their case. The defense attorneys for Nadine Arslanian Menendez objected to the delay, arguing that it would prejudice their client's right to a fair trial.
The judge overseeing the case has yet to rule on the prosecution's request for a delay. However, it is likely that the trial will not begin until at least early 2020.
