- Nadine Menendez, the wife of former Senator Bob Menendez, will face sentencing on Thursday for her involvement in a bribery scheme.

- Prosecutors say Nadine played a crucial role as intermediary between her husband and New Jersey businessmen who paid bribes for political favors.
- In a 2022 FBI search of their New Jersey residence, agents uncovered $480,000 in cash, gold bars valued at approximately $150,000, and a high-end convertible stored in the garage.
- The sentencing will be overseen by Judge Sidney H. Stein, with Nadine’s attorneys requesting a lighter sentence due to her recent breast cancer diagnosis and long history of positive contributions.
