Former Senator Robert Menendez was sentenced to 11 years in prison after a trial in which he attempted to shift blame to his wife. Jury selection for her trial begins Tuesday.

Nadine Menendez, 58, was originally scheduled to go to trial last year along with the 71-year-old New Jersey Democrat, but a breast cancer diagnosis and surgery led to a delay in her case. She has pleaded not guilty to charges that she participated in the bribery scheme resulting in her husband’s conviction.
