Bob Menendez , a Democrat from New Jersey , will be sentenced on corruption charges as scheduled at the end of January .

His lawyers last week requested a new sentencing date on the grounds that the jury chosen to hear the case against his wife would be tainted if jurors heard about the outcome of the former senator's sentencing during the trial.

Nadine Menendez has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Her January 21 trial was moved from January 21 to February 5 .
