The chargers are part of a federal bribery and conspiracy indictment. U.S. District Judge Lee Rosenthal also ordered that the couple's trial now be scheduled for April 6. It had been set for Sept. 22. The judge agreed to dismiss two counts that the couple had each faced related to violating the prohibition on public officials acting as agents of a foreign principal.
