The U.S. Department of Justice has filed its opposition to U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez’s motion to move his corruption trial from New Jersey to Washington, D.C., calling his analysis faulty and “results-oriented.”
Menendez’s analysis of factors supporting his motion to change trial venue “mischaracterizes key facts” and double-counts some Washington witnesses while omitting some others based in New Jersey, prosecutors said in opposition to the senator’s transfer motion. Furthermore, Menendez’s motion wrongly describes his attorneys as based in Washington—Abbe Lowell of Chadbourne & Parke has acknowledged to the judge that he splits his time between New York and Washington, and the only other lawyer to appear for the senator, Jenny Kramer, is based in New York, prosecutors said in court papers.
