Sen. Bob Menendez, who is up for reelection next year, has denied wrongdoing and vowed not to resign over the bribery and foreign agent charges.
Sen. Bob Menendez on Monday pleaded not guilty to a federal indictment accusing him of conspiring to act as a foreign agent for the Egyptian government.
That indictment accused Menendez of using his power and influence in ways that"secretly aided the Government of Egypt," including by sharing"sensitive U.S. Government information." Four of the co-defendants in the case pleaded not guilty last week to the charges in that updated indictment. Menendez had been granted a delay of his arraignment in order to cast previously scheduled votes in the Senate.Menendez, who has been in the Senate for 17 years, has stepped down from his role as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as he fights his criminal charges.
