The bribery trial of New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez has been rescheduled to begin on May 13, a week later than originally planned. This decision was made during a pretrial hearing in Manhattan, where U.S. District Judge Sidney H. Stein approved the delay to allow for additional time for trial preparation.
Sen. Menendez, along with two New Jersey businessmen, has pleaded not guilty to charges of receiving cash, gold bars, and a luxury car in exchange for political favors. The trial will also involve Menendez's wife, Nadine, who faces medical issues and is set to go on trial in July at the earliest.
