A federal judge has refused to declare a mistrial in the corruption case against Sen. Ted Stevens.

Shortly after the government concluded its case Wednesday against the veteran Alaska lawmaker, U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan heard defense attorneys argue again that prosecutors violated rules of evidence by intentionally withholding information that would help the defense.

Prosecutors insisted they had followed the rules.

Prosecutors have accused Stevens of lying on Senate forms to conceal that he received more than $250,000 in home renovations and gifts from a wealthy businessman.
