Jury deliberations are set to resume on Monday in the bribery trial of Sen. Bob Menendez in New York City. The jury, which began deliberations on Friday, is scheduled to reconvene in Manhattan federal court. The corruption trial of the New Jersey Democrat is entering its 10th week.
Sen. Menendez, 70, has denied charges of engaging in a bribery scheme from 2018 to 2023 to benefit three New Jersey businessmen, including by allegedly serving as a foreign agent for the government of Egypt. Both Menendez and the two businessmen who allegedly paid him bribes of gold and cash have pleaded not guilty.
