Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey has pleaded not guilty to a new federal charge accusing him of illegally plotting to be an agent of Egypt while serving as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Menendez, who was until recently the chair of the committee, is facing an indictment for conspiring to act as an unregistered foreign agent for the Egyptian government. He has strongly denied the charges, stating that they fly in the face of his long record of standing up for human rights and democracy in Egypt.
