Prosecutors Rest Case in Senator Menendez's Corruption Trial After Seven Weeks, Facing 16 Charges
Jun 28, 2024, 07:13 PM
Prosecutors have rested their case in the corruption trial of U.S. Senator Bob Menendez, following seven weeks of testimony. The trial, held in Manhattan federal court, has seen evidence presented by more than two dozen witnesses, including an FBI accountant who detailed the cash and gold bars seized at Menendez's house. Menendez faces 16 charges, including bribery, fraud, acting as a foreign agent, and obstruction, linked to alleged bribes from three New Jersey businessmen. The defense is set to begin presenting its case on Monday. Menendez has pleaded not guilty to all charges. A judge has rejected defense requests for acquittals.
