The corruption trial on democrat senator bob menendez begins tomorrow. Will the dems lose another seat in the Senate?
What charges does he face?
Bribery charges, which could send Menendez to jail for the rest of his life if he's convicted. It all stems from his relationship with Dr. Salomon Melgen, a Florida ophthalmologist who donated a lot of money to Menendez -- nearly $800,000 -- over the years.
In April, federal prosecutors alleged that in exchange for all that cash Menendez started doing Melgen a lot shady favors. These included travel visas for Melgen's girlfriends, pressuring the Obama administration to change Medicare rules in such a way that would make Melgen millions, and push through a port security deal Melgen had a hand in.
