A jury that began deliberations on Friday with three hours of work is scheduled to resume in the morning in Manhattan federal court. The corruption trial for the New Jersey Democrat is entering its 10th week.
Menendez, 70, has denied charges that he engaged in a bribery scheme from 2018 to 2023 to benefit three New Jersey businessman, including by serving as a foreign agent for the government of Egypt.As he left court on Friday, Menendez told reporters, “I have faith in God and in the jury.”Prosecutors put a heavy emphasis in their closing arguments on nearly $150,000 of gold bars and over $480,000 in cash seized from the Menendez home during a 2022 FBI raid.
They said his actions to help speed $99 million in military shipments of helicopter ammunition to Egypt, while other communications he carried out with Egyptian officials were also part of his job as a senator and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, a position he was forced to relinquish after charges were announced last fall.
