Democratic Senator Bob Menendez

Newark, February 3 (RHC)-- In Newark, New Jersey, U.S. federal prosecutors have dropped corruption charges against Democratic Senator Bob Menendez.  The decision came two weeks after the Justice Department initially said it would seek to retry the case after a jury deadlocked over charges last November.

Menendez was accused of peddling influence on behalf of New Jersey ophthalmologist Salomon Melgen in exchange for flights on a private jet, luxury hotel stays and six-figure campaign contributions.

The right-wing Senator Menendez, who says he will run for re-election in November later this year, has denied the charges.
