Sen. Menendez Pleads Not Guilty to Acting as Foreign Agent for Egypt

U.S. Senator Bob Menendez pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiring to act as an unregistered foreign agent for Egypt.

Menendez was previously charged with accepting bribes from NJ businessmen in exchange for helping Egypt's government.

Prosecutors say Menendez took actions from 2018-2022 on behalf of Egyptian officials after meetings arranged by a businessman.

The businessman allegedly put Menendez's wife on his company payroll per requests from Egypt.

Menendez has resisted calls from Democrats to resign over the charges.
