New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez has been charged with conspiring to act as an agent for the Egyptian government while serving as the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
The Democratic senator – who already stepped aside last month after being accused of bribery and fraud – has been further indicted on new charges that he, his wife Nadine, and co-defendant Wael Hana — plus “others known and unknown” — “wilfully combined, conspired, confederated and agreed together and with each other” to have him “act as an agent” of “the government of Egypt and Egyptian officials”.
