Third Circuit: U.S. Senator Must Face Fraud Charges

On July 29, 2016, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit upheld a district court's denial of a motion to dismiss corruption charges against United States Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ). United States v. Menendez, 2016 WL 4056037 (3d Cir. July 29, 2016). Menendez was charged in April 2015 in connection with allegations that he attempted to intervene in a government investigation of one of his largest campaign donors. The court rejected arguments by Menendez that he was engaged in legislative conduct and thus protected by the Constitution's Speech or Debate Clause. The New Jersey Democrat now faces the prospect of a trial on 12 felony charges in the fall, including bribery, conspiracy, and honest-services fraud.
