Prosecutors in the corruption trial of Sen. Bob Menendez have spent the first month portraying him as a lawmaker involved in bribery schemes with his wife amid lavish trappings. The trial, which resumed on June 18 after a brief pause due to a co-defendant's COVID diagnosis, saw testimony from New Jersey's top federal prosecutor, who stated that Menendez never pressured him to act improperly. Prosecutors are attempting to link alleged bribes to the appointment of the prosecutor three years ago, using testimony from Menendez's former campaign manager. Additionally, evidence presented includes text messages and encrypted Signal chat correspondences that allegedly show Menendez trying to appoint a favorable prosecutor for accused bribe-payer Fred Daibes. The trial also highlighted Menendez's interest in the value of gold, which prosecutors argue is linked to bribes from a New Jersey businessman involving gold and cash. Memorable moments from the prosecution's case include a steakhouse stakeout and a little bell.
