Sen. Bob Menendez's defense team concluded its case on Wednesday without calling the New Jersey Democrat to testify in his federal corruption trial. Over two days of testimony, Menendez's lawyers presented five witnesses, including his sister, sister-in-law, and the attorney for a friend of Jose Uribe, the businessman accused of bribing the senator for legal favors.
The defense team for co-defendant Fred Daibes also rested without presenting a defense. Meanwhile, lawyers for the other co-defendant, Wael Hana, called a witness on Wednesday and indicated that their final witness, scheduled for Monday, is pending travel arrangements.
