A U.S. district court judge has denied Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez's (N.J.) request to have his corruption trial recessed on days when the Senate has a "critical" vote.

Judge William H. Walls said in a statement Friday that Menendez is no more "entitled" than any other defendant.  The judge said Menendez's "unique situation" is no different than that of a radio repairman or a cab driver, Politico reported.
