Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) is set to speak to the Senate Democratic Caucus on Thursday, one day after he pleaded not guilty to federal bribery charges at a Manhattan court.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) told reporters on Sept. 27 that he was “deeply disappointed” and “disturbed” by the bribery indictment against Mr. Menendez.
