"Prosecutors Approve Delay in Menendez Trial Due to Wife's Health Concerns"

Federal prosecutors have agreed to delay the corruption trial of New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez for at least two months due to his wife's undisclosed health issue, which requires surgery. The trial date may be pushed back until July or August to allow his wife, Nadine Menendez, time to recover. The prosecutors endorsed a brief pause for Menendez to tend to his wife but opposed an extended hiatus, emphasizing the importance of trying the couple together to avoid calling witnesses multiple times. The senator and his wife have pleaded not guilty to charges of accepting bribes and acting as foreign agents.
