Senator Bob Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, is facing federal bribery charges. Federal agents found hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and gold at his home.
Menendez is remaining defiant and says he will not resign. The senator has faced previous corruption charges — the case ended in a hung jury.
We discuss why these types of cases can be so challenging for prosecutors to win.
This episode: White House correspondent Asma Khalid, justice correspondent Ryan Lucas, and political correspondent Susan Davis.

Weekly Roundup: Jail Time For Trump Over Gag Order Violations?
Donald Trump remains on trial in New York state court over alleged hush money payments. This week, Trump was warned by the judge to stop violating his gag order or he could find himself in jail.
