NEW YORK (AP) — Sen. Bob Menendez said Thursday that his wife will undergo a mastectomy after she was diagnosed with breast cancer, a revelation made just as the first evidence — pictures of 13 gold bars and over $480,000 in cash seized from the couple’s home — was shown to jurors at his New York bribery trial. The New Jersey Democrat said he was revealing his wife’s health crisis at her request after repeated inquiries from the media. “We are, of course, concerned about the seriousness and advanced stage of the disease,” the senator said in a statement. He added: “She will require follow up surgery and possibly radiation treatment. We hope and pray for the best results.” Previously, lawyers for Nadine Menendez had requested her trial on charges in the case be delayed after she was diagnosed with what was only previously described publicly as a serious health issue. |
