Menendez indictment

For the first time in American history, a sitting United States senator has been indicted twice. The hubris of it is stunning.

A federal judge on Tuesday refused to move Sen. Bob Menendez's corruption case from New Jersey to Washington, D.C., rejecting defense attorneys' arguments that the majority of the alleged crimes took place in the nation's capital and that a trial in New Jersey would hamper Menendez's ability to perform his duties in the Senate.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sen. Bob Menendez took a business-as-usual approach Monday when he returned to Congress for the first time since his April 1 indictment on federal corruption charges.
