"Sen. Bob Menendez and Wife Indicted for Acting as Unregistered Foreign Agents"

Senator Robert Menendez and his wife, Nadine Menendez, are facing a new charge of conspiring to act as a foreign agent of Egypt while he served as the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Prosecutors have accused them of failing to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act and have requested the seizure of their residence and a Mercedes-Benz convertible. Last month, the couple and three other defendants were charged with taking bribes in exchange for political favors. Menendez has denied the accusations and voluntarily stepped down from his position as committee chairman.
