The corruption trial of Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) is underway, as the jury was seated and opening arguments began on May 15 in a case that could alter the senator’s political future.
Mr. Menendez, who has been in political office since 1974, is facing 18 charges, including conspiracy, bribery, and obstruction of justice. He is standing trial with two other defendants, New Jersey businessmen Wael Hana and Fred Daibes.
