TL;DR Summary

U.S. Senator Bob Menendez has been charged with a new count of acting as an unregistered agent of the Egyptian government, according to a revised indictment filed against him.

The indictment accuses Menendez of taking actions on behalf of Egyptian officials without registering as a foreign agent. Menendez has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and his trial is set to begin in May.
