No New Trial For Menendez in Graft Case

FILE -- Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) leaves the courthouse in Newark, N.J., during his trial on federal corruption charges, on Nov. 9, 2017. The Department of Justice moved on Jan. 31, 2018, to dismiss the remaining charges against Menendez, just weeks after prosecutors announced their intent to retry him on federal corruption charges, a decision that would allow him to avoid running for re-election while under indictment.
