Senator Menendez and Wife Charged with Acting as Foreign Agents for Egypt

Senator Robert Menendez and his wife charged with acting as agents for Egyptian government in exchange for bribes.

Menendez tried to influence U.S. policy on Egypt, including military aid and opposing Nile dam project.

Menendez dealt directly with top Egyptian intelligence officials General Helmy and General Kamel.
