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 is set to be arraigned on a federal indictment accusing him of conspiring to act as a foreign agent for the Egyptian government.
Menendez and his wife, Nadine Menendez, were charged last month with accepting a range of bribes — including gold bars, cash, home mortgage payments and a Mercedes-Benz convertible — as part of a yearslong"corrupt relationship" with three New Jersey businessmen. The new criminal count alleges that they"willfully and knowingly combined, conspired, confederated, and agreed together and with each other" to have Menendez unlawfully"act as an agent of a foreign principal."
