Former New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez is seeking to get his bribery conviction thrown out and receive a new trial after prosecutors revealed they inadvertently gave the jury information they shouldn't have.
Menendez's lawyers made the request before a federal court in New York after prosecutors said in a letter earlier this month that a laptop given to the jury had incorrect versions of nine exhibits. Neither the lawyers nor the prosecutors noticed the errors when inspecting the laptop at the time, the latter said.
