Federal prosecutors on Oct. 12 accused the New Jersey Democrat – until recently the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee – of taking actions from 2018 to 2022 on behalf of Egyptian military and intelligence officials.
Menendez is expected to be asked to enter a plea to the new charge at the 3 p.m. ET arraignment before U.S. District Judge Sidney Stein. His lawyers did not respond to a request for comment.
