Sen. Bob Menendez's wife requests delayed trial in bribery case, citing "serious medical condition"

The May 6 bribery trial for Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey and his wife, Nadine, may be postponed for months, after Nadine Menendez requested a delay to address a medical condition.

Nadine Menendez's attorneys said in a letter to the judge in the case that she is suffering from a "serious medical condition that will require a surgical procedure in the next four to six weeks as well as possibly significant follow-up and recovery treatment." 

In a court filing, the government said it doesn't object to the request and suggested the trial take place in July or August instead.
