SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 13 - In US versus Bob Menendez, the corruption trial on Qatar and Egypt and New Jersey bank fraudster Daibes, one month in the trial day of June 14 was canceled.
And at 3:30 pm on June 14, Inner City Press through this reporter reliably learned that Monday, June 17 is canceled to (though that was not in the docket - at least not yet).
Update: 20 minutes after the above, confirmation: "Please be advised that trial in the above action, originally scheduled to resume Monday, June 17, 2024, is adjourned. It is anticipated that trial will resume Tuesday, June 18, 2024."
And so a book and audiobook was published of the trial's first month, and Menendez' history: Gold Bar Bob Menendez Trial I, by Matthew Russell Lee, paperback available on Amazon here
It begins: He "pushed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hard right on Cuba and Iran until he ran into an indictment for helping Egypt and Qatar. This is that story.
"'Tomorrow you'll see the truth,' he said." But what if tomorrow never comes? More coverage and another book will be coming.
