N.J. developer convicted with Bob Menendez pleads guilty to bank fraud

Lawyers gave opening statements Monday in the trial of the wife of former U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, who was convicted last year of accepting bribes of cash and gold.

Menendez was originally scheduled to face trial last year with her husband, but a breast cancer diagnosis led to surgery that forced her trial to be delayed.

Nadine Menendez says a newly diagnosed condition requires surgery within six weeks. A federal judge is set for a May 6 trial of the senator, his wife and two businessmen.
