Bob Menendez Indicted on Bribery Charges
Senator's Wife Faces Indictment as Well
Corruption Trial Delayed Indefinitely
Washington - New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez and his wife Nadine were indicted on bribery charges on Thursday. The charges stem from allegations that the Menendezes accepted bribes from a Florida eye doctor in exchange for political favors.
Nadine Menendez was scheduled to face trial separately this summer, but her trial has been delayed indefinitely after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was excused from appearing in court next week after her lawyer said she is suffering intense.
The Menendezes have pleaded not guilty to the charges and have vowed to fight them in court.
