Episode Details

Nadine Menendez is headed to federal prison after a judge denied her final plea to delay her surrender—set for Friday at 2 p.m.—so she could finish critical breast cancer reconstruction surgeries. Despite her legal team’s request for until October 30th, the judge stood firm, having already granted her previous extensions. Sentenced in September to 4.5 years, she was convicted as a central figure in a massive bribery scheme with her husband, former Senator Bob Menendez, who’s already serving 11 years. Prosecutors called her the second most culpable after her husband, rejecting claims she was merely following orders. She plans to appeal, but her time behind bars is now imminent.
