Bob Menendez pleaded not guilty Monday to the charge of acting as an unregistered foreign agent for the Egyptian government. > A Manhattan grand jury filed a superseding indictment Oct. 12 charging Menendez, who was initially charged with three counts stemming from his alleged acceptance of bribes in September, with one count of conspiracy for a public official to act as a foreign agent.
