Sen. Bob Menendez, a Democrat from New Jersey, bawled at a press conference after a hung jury cause his corruption trial to end in a mistrial.
Sen. Menendez was accused of taking political bribes from Dr. Salomon Melgen in exchange for lobbying for Melgen’s political interests. The jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict after the two month long trial and the judge declared a mistrial on Thursday. Prosecutors may choose to refile the charges in the future.
