Judge Refuses to Dismiss Menendez Corruption Charges

“After raising Sen. Robert Menendez’s (D-NJ) hopes last week, a federal judge crushed them on Monday morning,” Politico reports.

“U.S. District Court Judge William Walls refused to toss any of the 18 charges in the corruption case against Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, despite last week casting doubt on a legal theory that’s at the heart of the prosecution’s case.”
