Prosecution Concludes Case in Sen. Bob Menendez Corruption Trial

Seven weeks of testimony detail alleged bribery involving cash, gold bars, and political favors.

Prosecutors allege Menendez and his wife received bribes from three businessmen and two foreign governments.
Key witness testified that Menendez used his influence to disrupt state investigations in exchange for luxury gifts.
Evidence includes cash-filled envelopes, gold bars, and text messages linking Menendez to the bribery schemes.
Defense attorneys argue Menendez was unaware of deals orchestrated by his wife and question the credibility of witnesses.
The trial, initially expected to last six weeks, is now projected to continue through mid-July.
