TOPIC: Sen. Menendez corruption trial goes to jury: The fate of Sen. Robert Menendez is now in the jury’s hands. With the New Jersey Democrat’s career and freedom hanging in the balance, his defense lawyer said Monday that Menendez’s relationship with Salomon Melgen, a wealthy Florida ophthalmologist, was a longstanding friendship — not a corrupt connection, as claimed by the Justice Department.

Menendez said yesterday: “I think the government floundered in their closing statement. I’m looking forward to the jury’s decision.”
