Sen. Menendez Asks Judge to Toss Guilty Verdicts

Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and the two New Jersey businessmen who were convicted last month of bribery on Monday requested that the judge vacate their guilty verdicts, Politico reported.

Menendez last month was convicted of bribery, acting as an agent of a foreign government. Prosecutors accused him of taking cash and gold bars from three businessmen in exchange for helping the governments of Qatar and Egypt.
