A federal judge has ruled against U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez's assertions that search warrants used in corruption charges against him were unconstitutional. Judge Sidney H. Stein determined that the warrants, which led to the discovery of gold bars and cash at Menendez's New Jersey home, were properly obtained and executed.
The warrants, issued between January and July 2022, included searches of the senator's email accounts and residence. Despite claims by Menendez's legal team that the warrants contained misrepresentations and omissions, Judge Stein found no evidence of intentional wrongdoing or material omissions.
