Federal prosecutors recently amended their indictment against Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and his wife to include new charges of conspiring to have Mr. Menendez act as an agent of Egypt.

The superseding indictment was filed on Oct. 12 against Mr. Menendez in federal court in Manhattan, charging him with failing to register as required by the U.S. government as “an agent of a foreign principal.”
