Nadine Menendez, the wife of Sen. Bob Menendez who is accused alongside her husband of taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes, has stage 3 breast cancer, the senator announced on Thursday. “As a result of constant press inquiries and reporters following my wife, she has asked me to disclose her medical condition,' Menendez, D-N.J., said in a statement. 'Nadine is suffering from Grade 3 breast cancer, which will require her to have mastectomy surgery.
” Opening statements in the criminal trial began Wednesday, but Nadine Menendez was absent from the courtroom on Monday during jury selection. Her case was severed from her husband's by the judge in April because of her then-undisclosed medical issue. Bob and Nadine Menendez have each pleaded not guilty alongside businessmen Fred Daibes and Wael Hana, who were also charged. The two men are standing trial with Menendez.
