Tentative trial dates set for four teens charged with murder | SaltWire #newsupdate #halifax #courtNEW YORK - Jurors could be seated as soon as Wednesday to determine whether Robert Menendez, New Jersey's senior senator, broke the law in what federal prosecutors called a years-long bribery scheme to benefit Egypt's and Qatar's governments, as well as himself.U.S.

All have pleaded not guilty. The bribery trial is Robert Menendez's second, with the first ending in 2017 in a mistrial after jurors deadlocked. Menendez became a senator in 2006.Prosecutors are expected to detail a complex and sordid array of corruption that they say lasted from 2018 to 2023. Menendez also allegedly tried to interfere in a federal criminal case against Daibes in New Jersey, and in state criminal cases involving two of Uribe's associates.

While Nadine Menendez will not be on trial now, her husband's lawyers have suggested their defense might include an effort to blame her, saying she withheld information and made him believe his activities were lawful.
