On Monday, the defense in U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez’s bribery trial wrapped up its case, bringing forward the last witness, an Egyptian man with ties to the Halal meat company that’s at the heart of the accusations.

And then came closing arguments, with the prosecution starting its summation on Monday afternoon and planning to continue into tomorrow with what is expected to be five hours of arguments.

Assistant U. S. Attorney Paul Monteleoni reminded the jury about all of the gold bars and cash that FBI agents seized at the Menendez home in Englewood, saying “Menendez sold the power of his office. You saw, again and again, a clear pattern of corruption.”

The defense has suggested that the senator’s wife, Nadine, orchestrated all of this, but the prosecution sought to rebut the claim that Menendez was unaware: “You don’t get to be the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by being clueless.”

The defense’s closing arguments could go through Wednesday.
