The trial has been \u2062ongoing for eight\u2064 weeks, with \u200cMenendez’s co-defendants\u2062 also \u200dfacing charges. Prosecutors\u2064 are using\u2064 a “PowerPoint-style” presentation to \u2062connect the alleged pattern of corruption, emphasizing Menendez’s central role in the scheme. Menendez’s\u200d defense has attempted to \u200bshift\u200d blame to his \u2063wife, but prosecutors argue\u200c that he was fully aware of the illegal activities.
