Former Senator Bob Menendez has been denied a new trial by a federal judge following his conviction in a corruption case. This decision comes as Menendez, along with two co-defendants, has tried to overturn the verdict and seeks a retrial. The request for a retrial was met with a firm rejection, emphasizing that the jury’s verdict was not compromised by errors in evidence. Meanwhile, his wife, Nadine Menendez, is set to face her own trial for bribery and corruption starting January 21, after a prior attempt to delay proceedings was denied. The legal struggles for the Menendez family continue to unfold as they prepare for impending court dates.
