US Sen. Menendez appealing judge’s ruling against his attempts to dismiss criminal case

NEWARK, N.J. — Attorneys for U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey filed notice Friday that they will appeal a judge’s rulings rejecting their arguments to dismiss his corruption indictment.

Last month a federal judge in Newark dismissed some bribery counts from the 22-count indictment against Menendez and co-defendant Salomon Melgen, but rejected most of Menendez’s arguments to dismiss the indictment. This week, the same judge rejected the Democrat’s remaining attempts to have the case thrown out.
