US Senator Bob Menendez is a Democrat from New Jersey. When his trial on corruption charges began, federal prosecutor Peter Koski said, "This case is about a corrupt politician who sold his Senate office for a life of luxury he couldn't afford." The trial involves hundreds of thousands of dollars in alleged bribes from a Florida eye doctor. It went into its third day today. Ryan Hutchins, New Jersey bureau chief for Politico, has more on Menendez's legal defense.
