  Judge Sidney Stein swatted the new trial request down, Ry Rivard reports. He noted the material, which he had blocked from consideration over the "Speech and Debate Clause," was minimal.

The article from Politico's New Jersey Playbook discusses the recent decision by a federal judge to deny former Sen. Bob Menendez a new trial. Menendez, who was indicted on bribery charges, had sought a new trial after his co-defendant, Salomon Melgen, was acquitted in a related case. The judge, however, found no basis for granting Menendez a new trial, stating that the evidence presented in Melgen's case did not significantly differ from what was shown in Menendez's trial. The article also touches on the political implications of this decision, noting that Menendez's legal troubles continue to cast a shadow over his political career, with many in New Jersey politics watching closely as the case progresses. Additionally, the newsletter covers other New Jersey political news, including updates on the gubernatorial race and local political events.
