A federal appeals court in Philadelphia has let the federal corruption case against Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., stand.
According to Politico, Menendez attempted to claim that his constitutional protections as a senator were being violated.
Menendez, a senior senator and leading foreign policy voice, was indicted in April 2015 on federal corruption charges stemming from gifts and campaign donations.
Menendez, now in his second Senate term, has pleaded not guilty to all 14 corruption charges and is out on a $1.5 million bond.
