Jose Uribe, a former New Jersey insurance broker charged in what prosecutors have described as a broad bribery scheme involving Senator Robert Menendez, pleaded guilty on Friday in Manhattan.
Mr. Uribe had been accused of providing Nadine Menendez, the senator’s wife, with a Mercedes-Benz in exchange for Mr. Menendez’s efforts to intercede in an insurance-fraud investigation in New Jersey. ...
Judge Sidney H. Stein of Federal District Court set Mr. Uribe’s sentencing for June 14, which means it could come in the midst of the trial of Mr. Menendez and his three remaining co-defendants, which is scheduled to start on May 6.
