After the jury again informed the judge they could not reach a decision, a federal judge declared a mistrial in Sen. Bob Menendez's corruption and bribery trial. 

U.S. District Court Judge William H. Walls said Thursday afternoon that he found "no alternative to declaring a mistrial." 

Earlier this week, the jury told Walls that they were unable to come to a verdict, but he implored them to continue with deliberations. On Thursday, the jury again informed him of their inability to come to a decision.
Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, was accused of accepting a plethora of donations and gifts from a wealthy friend in exchange for political influence. Both Menendez and the doctor, Salomon Melgen, maintained their innocence.
This was the first time in nine years that a sitting U.S. senator faced federal bribery charges.
