Menendez on trial

Menendez on trial

Federal prosecutors had a rough start on the first day of testimony in the bribery trial of Sen. Bob Menendez, Democrat of New Jersey. Prosecutors called FBI analyst Jane Ruch to testify about a $1,500-per-night ritzy Paris hotel stay that the senator didn't pay for. However, Judge William Walls interrupted her testimony to remind both prosecutors and the defense that their questions should be more "direct and specific." (Dr. Melgen paid for that Paris hotel stay in April 2010.)
