Jury selection continues in New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez's corruption trial

As Judge Sidney Stein interviewed prospective jurors in a room just outside the courtroom for the federal New York corruption trial of Sen. Bob Menendez, the New Jersey senator sat alone at a defense table Tuesday.

The judge has heard a number of reasons why possible jurors say they should be excused from Menendez's trial, which could to stretch into July. Some have cited medical reasons; others said the trial would too adversely affect their jobs or travel plans.

However, several said they were worried that they've heard too much to be fair about the case in which the 70-year-old Menendez was charged with bribery, extortion, fraud and obstruction of justice, along with acting as a foreign agent of Egypt.
