The bribery trial of U.S. Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey, originally scheduled to commence soon, has been postponed by a week to May 13. The decision to delay the trial was made after lawyers argued that additional time would benefit their trial preparations. This agreement was confirmed during a court session where Senator Menendez participated via phone, as he was not physically present in court.
