Sen. Bob Menendez leaves federal court following the day's proceedings in his bribery trial on Wednesday, July 3, 2024, in New York. | Larry Neumeister/APNEW YORK — Sen. Bob Menendez decided not to take the stand in his own defense against federal corruption charges, though he talked about it “at length” with his attorneys.
The senator, who is accused of accepting bribes to disrupt state and federal criminal cases and to help the Egyptian government obtain American military aid, called five witnesses this week after the government spent over two months having people testify. Earlier this week, during legal arguments in front of the judge without jurors present, Menendez attorney Adam Fee seemed to preview his team’s closing arguments.
