Sen. Bob Menendez's lawyer tried to convince a New York jury Wednesday that there’s nothing to the federal government’s bribery case against the Democrat."This case, it dies here today," attorney Adam Fee told the Manhattan federal court jury as it heard closing arguments for a third day.He said the government had failed to prove "that Bob’s actions were anything other than what we want our elected officials to do.""He was doing his job.
Attorney Paul Monteleoni told jurors that, when they review evidence, they will see that Dabies and Hana were directly responsible for gold bars and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash found in a 2022 FBI raid of the Menendez's Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, residence.The prosecutor said Daibes' fingerprints "were all over the tape sealing up" envelopes stuffed with thousands of dollars of cash that were found in cardboard boxes, a safe, boots and jackets in the home.
