Sept. 11 (UPI) -- Nadine Menendez, wife of convicted former Sen. Bob Menendez, is scheduled for sentencing Thursday for her part in the bribery and foreign influence scheme.
The sentencing of Nadine Menendez, 58, will take place in the U.S. District Court for Southern New York courtroom in Manhattan, where her husband was sentenced to 11 years in federal prison in January. She was convicted in April.
Nadine Menendez "did not commit bribery reluctantly, fleetingly or on a small scale," federal prosecutors told U.S. District Court Judge Sidney Stein.
"She did so eagerly, for years, and in a scheme implicating foreign relations, national security and the integrity of state and federal law enforcement," they argued.
