Prosecutors Seek 7-Year Sentence for Ex-Senator Menendez's Wife

Federal prosecutors have requested a minimum seven-year prison sentence for Nadine Menendez, wife of former New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, following her conviction on multiple charges. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York filed court documents Tuesday stating her sentence should reflect the seriousness of her conduct, which they described as a betrayal of public trust. Prosecutors are also seeking significant financial penalties in the case.
