 Jeff Malasso, Fox News. Closing arguments could start this afternoon in a federal courtroom in New York City where Senator Bob Menendez declined to testify in his own defense at his bribery trial. Yet the New Jersey Democrat insists he is not guilty. Menendez is accused of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gifts, including cash and gold bars, in exchange for favors to foreign business interests in Egypt and Qatar. There's a pretrial hearing today for actor Alec Baldwin, who's charged in a deadly 2021 shooting on the set of the movie Rust.
