Bob Menendez Motion for New Trial is Denied As He Urges Alternatives to Prison or a Camp

by Matthew Russell Lee

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 22 – Amid reports of investigation against Sen. Robert Menendez for taking gold bars, Inner City Press' sources on September 21 it to expect on Friday, September 22 an appearance in Federal court in Manhattan by Menendez and his wife Nadine Arslanian. This scoop was true.

Later a superseder was unveiled, including charges of bribes to act for Qatar.

On January 10 Menendez filed a motion to dismiss, arguing "the government shockingly fails to disclose the exculpatory fact that [REDACTED]." Full filing on Patreon here

On February 1, Judge Stein granted some unsealing - including of some of the material in the vault which Inner City Press requested. Order here.

Jump cut: Menendez et al were convicted; Inner City Press published a book, here.

 Near midnight on January 2 Menendez' lawyers wrote in claimis his guideline is 21 to 27 months and that Judge Stein "should consider alternatives to incarceration"

On January 22 Judge Stein denied Menendez' and the others' motion for a new trial: "it is extraordinarily unlikely that the jury ever became aware of the "molecules of extrarecord matter," Bibbins, 21 F.3d at 16, on the jury laptop when no one had referenced that material during the trial. The defendants were not prejudiced such that a new trial is required. Defendants' supplemental motions for a new trial are denied, as is Menendez' s request for discovery."
