Nadine Menendez Faces Federal Bribery Trial as Jury Selection Begins

The wife of convicted former Senator Bob Menendez is charged with conspiracy, fraud, and extortion in connection to alleged bribes benefiting Egypt.

Nadine Menendez is accused of facilitating bribes, including cash, gold, and a luxury car, in exchange for her husband's political influence.
Prosecutors allege she introduced Egyptian officials to Bob Menendez, enabling a corrupt agreement for political favors benefiting Egypt.
Her trial was delayed multiple times due to her breast cancer diagnosis, with jury selection now underway in New York City.
Bob Menendez, convicted on related charges and sentenced to 11 years in prison, is appealing his conviction while awaiting his prison reporting date.
The case has drawn significant attention for its implications on political corruption and foreign influence in U.S. governance.
