Former Senator Bob Menendez has requested a new trial after prosecutors admitted that erroneous evidence was shown to jurors during deliberations. Menendez's lawyers argue that this mistake compromises the fairness of the original trial, asserting that improper evidence presented could have influenced the jury's verdict. Menendez was convicted on multiple counts, including bribery linked to military aid to Egypt, and resigned from the Senate following his conviction. He awaits sentencing, with a date set for January 29.
