NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — The Latest on the bribery trial of Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez and a wealthy donor (all times local): 1:30 p.m. Sen. Bob Menendez's defense team contends the New Jersey Democrat took numerous trips at his own expense to visit a wealthy donor now charged with bribing him. During cross-examination at Menendez's bribery trial Wednesday, they showed Menendez traveled to the Dominican Republic often to visit Florida eye doctor Salomon Melgen, who is on trial with him. About 20 of those trips came between 2006 and 2013, the period in which prosecutors say Melgen bribed Menendez with flights on his private jet and luxury hotel stays in exchange for Menendez's political influence.
