After seven weeks, federal prosecutors rested their case against Senator Menendez, accused of conspiring to take bribes for political favors. Defense calls witnesses next week, maintaining innocence.
Original charges against Menendez involved bribery conspiracy, including accusations of aiding Egypt and obstructing justice. Indictment updated with additional charges. Defense vigorously cross-examined government witnesses during trial.
