A New York City jury has convicted Nadine Menendez, the wife of convicted former New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, for her role in a years-long bribery scheme with her husband.
She was convicted on all 15 counts and faces sentencing on June 12. She wore a facemask and had no visible reaction when the verdict was read.
Nadine Menendez, 58, and her husband have both now been convicted of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in exchange for political favors to benefit the government of Egypt and enrich themselves.
