Justice Department will retry Robert Menendez

Published January 19, 2018 7:54pm ET



The Department of Justice intends to retry a corruption case against Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez, two months after a jury failed to come to a verdict.

“The United States files this notice of intent to retry the defendants and requests that the Court set the case for retrial at the earliest possible date,” said the notice of intent, signed by Annalou Tirol, acting chief of the public integrity section. “An early retrial date is in the best interests of the public, and the United States is available to schedule a retrial at the Court’s earliest convenience.”
