investigation against Sen.
Robert Menendez for taking
gold bars, Inner City Press'
sources on September 21 it to
expect on Friday, September 22
an appearance in Federal court
in Manhattan by Menendez and
his wife Nadine Arslanian. This
scoop

Later a
superseder was unveiled,
including charges of bribes to
act for Qatar...
On April 11, 2024
after Nadine Menendez and then
the government asked for
delay, to July or undefined,
Judge Stein severed her case
and reaffirmed May 6, Inner
City Press thread:
All rise! Judge
Sidney Stein: I have
request for adjournment of the
trial, which is set for May 6.
Let's handle that first. It
was sparked by a medical issue
with Mrs. Menendez. When could
she sit for trial?
Nadine
Menendez' (outgoing) lawyer:
We'll know in 2 months. Bob
Menendez' lawyer: We don't
want any delay. Every day the
unproven allegations are out

ability to run. Also, we think
severance is inevitable
Judge
Stein: Given the medical
issues, I think it is unclear
when Mrs. Menendez could go to
trial. So I am going to sever
Mrs. Menendez - and the May 6
trial will go forward. For
Mrs. Menendez, July 8 trial,
we'll see in June if it's
realistic
