Prosecutors say the Democrat accepted nearly $150,000 in gold bars and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash to corruptly abuse his power. Menendez has pleaded not guilty to charges
U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., leaves federal court following the day's proceedings in his bribery trial, Thursday in New York.
“Looking forward to the jury getting the case tomorrow,” Menendez said as he stepped into a waiting car outside the courthouse. During four days of closings, attorneys put their spin on testimony and hundreds of exhibits including photographs of gold bars and stacks of $100 bills found during a 2022 FBI raid on the Menendez residence. Prosecutors say the gold and cash, along with a Mercedes-Benz convertible in the garage, were bribe proceeds.
