The wife of former U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez is set to report to federal prison on Friday to begin serving her sentence. Nadine Menendez was sentenced to four and a half years in prison after being convicted of bribery, obstruction of justice and acting as a foreign agent.

A federal judge denied her request to delay her prison surrender while she continues cancer treatment. Her husband, former Sen. Bob Menendez, is already serving an 11-year federal prison sentence after being convicted on similar corruption-related charges.
