text:  Prosecutors finished up in the corruption trial of New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez. After seven weeks of testimony, prosecutors in the bribery trial of New Jersey U.S. Senator Bob Menendez have rested their case. On Monday, it's the defense's turn, where witnesses for the Democrat and two New Jersey businessmen named as co-conspirators will take the stand. The defense claims no crimes were committed and no bribes were paid, despite investigators finding gold bars, a Mercedes Benz convertible, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash in a raid of Menendez's home two years ago, as well as evidence of bribery in return for political favor.
