Menendez Trial Begins in New Jersey with National Implications

Senator Menendez's trial will get underway in September.

Ryan Hutchins, New Jersey bureau chief for Politico, previews New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez’s federal corruption trial and discusses its national implications. If Menendez, a Democrat, is convicted and expelled from the Senate, Governor Chris Christie, a Republican, would pick his replacement, which could swing things in the vote for the health care bill.
