Nadine Menendez, wife of former Sen. Bob Menendez, found guilty

(NBC, KYMA/KECY) - The wife of former New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez has been found guilty in her federal bribery trial.

Nadine Menendez was convicted Monday of teaming up with her husband to accept bribes from three New Jersey men.

The jury returned a verdict of guilty on all counts in the same federal courthouse in manhattan where a different jury convicted Bob Menendez of many of the same charges last year. The Democrat is supposed to begin serving an 11-year prison term in June.

Nadine Menendez's sentencing is scheduled for June 12, six days after her husband is expected to report to prison.

"We are devastated by the verdict. Speaking for myself, I am devastated by the verdict, but I want to emphasize the we respect the criminal justice system, we respect this court, we respect our judge and we respect the jury for its hard work," said Barry Coburn, Nadine Menendez's lawyer.

The couple have maintained their innocence.
