Menendez Defense Argues Lack of Evidence in Federal Corruption Trial

Sen. Bob Menendez's attorney claims prosecution failed to prove bribery charges beyond reasonable doubt.

Closing arguments have concluded in the nine-week trial of Sen. Bob Menendez and his co-defendants.
Defense attorney Adam Fee criticized the prosecution's case as speculative and lacking direct evidence.
Prosecutors allege Menendez accepted bribes in the form of cash, gold bars, and a luxury vehicle.
The jury is expected to begin deliberations after final instructions from the judge.
Menendez's wife, Nadine, will face a separate trial later this year due to health issues.
