The pretrial conference is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon in Newark.
Menendez was indicted this month on charges he accepted nearly $1 million worth of gifts and travel from longtime friend and Florida-based ophthalmologist Salomon Melgen.
Menendez is accused of trying to get the State Department to intervene in a contract dispute involving a business Melgen owned in the Dominican Republic and advocating for Melgen in a Medicare billing dispute for several years.
Melgen has been charged separately with Medicare fraud.
The trial is scheduled for mid-July.
