The defense for Sen. Robert Menendez and co-defendant Salomon Melgen could rest as soon as next week, attorneys said Wednesday.Menendez attorney Abbe Lowell told Judge William Walls during a sidebar conference Wednesday morning that if Menendez and Melgen don’t testify, he anticipates wrapping up at the end of next week.“If we get through however many we get this week, we probably would have been done by the end of next week if we had Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, which was our plan to have four days next week.
