Corruption and messiness in New Jersey politics may reflect similar issues at the federal level. Comparisons are drawn between local political figures like Norcross and Menendez to national figures, including the former president. The confrontational tactics used by Norcross are likened to behavior attributed to the former president.
Prosecutors ain’t nothing but tired of New Jersey’s political corruption. WNYC’s Nancy Solomon, host of the Dead End podcast, explains the cases against Sen. Robert Menendez and power broker George Norcross.
This episode was produced by Peter Balonon-Rosen and Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Patrick Boyd and Andrea Kristinsdotter, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
