Nadine Menendez, the wife of Senator Robert Menendez, has requested a delay for her trial on bribery charges due to a "serious medical condition" requiring surgery and an extended recovery period.

The trial is scheduled to start on May 6, and the judge has yet to rule on the request for separate trials for the couple.
