“Five months after a jury convicted Sen. Bob Menendez of corruption-related charges that ended his political career, federal prosecutors have admitted to a series of errors that could upend the verdicts,” Politico reports.
“The missteps have handed Menendez’s attorneys just the kind of opening they’d been looking for, and they have already requested a new trial.
If they get their way, Menendez could beat federal charges once again — a remarkable prospect given the stash of gold bars and piles of cash used as evidence against him.”
