U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., leaves federal court following the day's proceedings in his bribery trial, Friday, June 28, 2024, in New York. Prosecutors rested on Friday after presenting evidence for seven weeks at the bribery trial of Menendez, enabling the Democrat and two New Jersey businessmen to begin calling their own witnesses next week to support defense claims that no crimes were committed and no bribes were paid.
