Disgraced ex-NJ Sen. Bob Menendez won’t get a new corruption trial — and holds out hope for Trump pardon
Disgraced former New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez — who’s reportedly seeking a pardon from President Trump after selling out his office for gold bar bribes — lost his bid for a new trial Wednesday. Manhattan federal court Judge Sidney Stein found that the three-term Garden State senator wasn’t unfairly convicted despite an evidence snafu during jury deliberations.
