Dem Senator to Face Trial for Corruption, Bribery After Supreme Court Snub
The U.S. Supreme Court denied a motion to dismiss bribery and other charges against Sen. Robert Menendez (D-New Jersey), meaning a federal trial will go forward in September, USA Today reported.
Menendez, 63, is accused of improperly accepting gifts and hundreds of thousands of dollars in exchange for using his office to help Florida opthalmologist Dr. Salomon Melgen.
The senator was formally indicted in 2015 on those charges, and has since been trying to have them dismissed.
