Former Sen. Bob Menendez, citing 'emotional toll,' seeks sentencing delay
==========
Former U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez requested a delay for his sentencing on bribery charges, originally scheduled for January 29, 2025, due to the emotional impact on his family during his wife Nadine's trial, which begins January 21, 2025. His lawyers argued that the overlap could prejudice Nadine's trial. Menendez was convicted on July 16, 2024, on 16 charges including bribery and obstruction of justice. Prosecutors allege the couple received nearly $150,000 in gold and $480,000 in cash from three businessmen in exchange for political favors. Nadine Menendez's trial was postponed for her breast cancer treatment.
