Prosecutors Admit Error in Menendez Bribery Trial Evidence

Federal prosecutors admitted that jurors in former Sen. Bob Menendez's corruption trial were inadvertently shown evidence that should have been redacted due to congressional immunity concerns. However, they argue the error is insignificant as the evidence was likely "meaningless and impenetrable" to jurors, and it's improbable any juror noticed it among the 3,000 exhibits. Menendez's legal team may use this mishap to bolster their appeal, claiming constitutional violations. Menendez, found guilty of multiple charges, is set for sentencing in January.
