 News this hour from townhall.com. I'm Tasha Stevens. The defense wraps up closing arguments and jury deliberations could begin Thursday. The trial of U.S. Senator Robert Menendez. Menendez attorney Adam Fee told the Manhattan jury the case dies there. He said Menendez was doing his job and doing it well. The government failed to prove the senator's actions were anything other than what elected officials are supposed to do.
