The bribery trial for U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez, D-New Jersey, appears more likely to start on its scheduled date of May 6 after one of Menendez’s co-defendants on Thursday agreed to waive his ability to call another co-defendant’s attorney as a witness.
Attorneys representing Menendez and New Jersey businessmen Wael Hana and Fred Daibes spent several hours at the Manhattan federal courthouse Wednesday discussing a stipulation that would obviate the need for Hana’s lead counsel, Lawrence Lustberg of Gibbons PC, to testify at trial.
