Nadine Menendez, 58, was convicted by a jury on Monday for her role in a bribery conspiracy involving her husband, former New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez. The charges included bribery, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy related to bringing foreign influence into U.S. politics. The jury's decision followed a monthlong trial, where evidence showed she received cash and benefits from businessmen seeking her husband's political influence. A sentencing date was set for June 12, amidst her prior health issues delaying the trial.
Nadine Menendez was found guilty of participating in a bribery conspiracy with her husband, Robert Menendez, after a jury deliberated for two days.
The jury found Ms. Menendez guilty of all 15 counts, including bribery, obstruction of justice, and conspiring to make her husband an agent of Egypt.
