New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez said Thursday he would not forget those seeking to benefit from his downfall after his federal trial for allegedly taking bribes ended in a mistrial.
"To those who were digging my political grave so that they could jump into my seat, I know who you are and I won't forget you," the Democrat said at a press conference.
During his remarks to reporters, Menendez thanked supporters and appeared to suggest the trial was motivated by his ethnicity.
"Certain elements of the FBI and of our state cannot understand or even worse accept that a Latino kid from Union City can grow up to be a United States senator and be honest," he said.
