Watch live from outside court in New York as jury selection is expected to begin on Monday 13 May in the corruption trial of US Senator Robert Menendez.
Defense attorneys on Tuesday scrutinized the credibility of the star witness in the federal corruption trial of Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., after he testified that he bribed the embattled lawmaker and his wife. The witness, Jose Uribe, was one of three New Jersey businessmen who were originally charged in the case along with Menendez and his wife, Nadine Menendez. Uribe flipped in early March, pleading guilty and agreeing to cooperate with prosecutors in hopes of avoiding prison when he is sentenced for his crimes, which carry a maximum of 95 years in prison. In his direct testimony on the witness stand in New York federal court, Uribe said that in

All eyes have been on the hush-money trial of former President Donald Trump in Manhattan, and the question on everyone’s mind is how his guilty verdict might shape the November election.

Robert Menendez, has been diagnosed with breast cancer, the Democratic lawmaker revealed Thursday during his trial on federal corruption charges. “As a result of constant press inquiries and reporters following my wife, she has asked me to disclose her medical condition," Menendez, the senior senator from New Jersey, said in a statement his office shared with NBC News. "Nadine is suffering from Grade 3 breast cancer, which will require her to have mastectomy surgery. We are, of course, concerned about the seriousness and advanced stage of the disease," Menendez said. "Sh
Prosecutors and defense attorneys are poised Wednesday to select a full jury and deliver opening statements in the federal bribery trial of Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey. Judge Sidney Stein sketched out that timeline Tuesday afternoon after two plodding days in court passed without a single juror being seated for the trial of the Democratic lawmaker and two New Jersey businessmen in U.S. District Court in Manhattan. Stein said he expects the jury box to be filled by mid-morning Wednesday "at the latest." Prosecutors will begin their opening statements shortly afterward "if all goes to plan," the judge said. Menendez, 70, and his wife Nadine Menendez are charged in the case with taking hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of bribes — including bags of cash, gold bars and a Mercedes-Benz convertible — in exchange for official acts
A judge on Monday admonished attorneys about playing legal games shortly after they convened for the start of the federal bribery trial of Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J. "There's been too much gamesmanship here," Judge Sidney Stein told prosecutors and defense attorneys before jury selection began for the trial in federal court in Manhattan. "Everybody has to operate in good faith here," Stein said, adding, "I'm not sure I've seen that." Menendez, 70, wearing a dark suit and striped red tie with his gold senator's pin on his lapel, listened silently in the courtroom. Two of his co-defendants, New Jers
