Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) was hit with a superseding federal indictment on Jan. 2 involving more accusations of bribery.

In the indictment, prosecutors allege that Mr. Menendez, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where he was chairman until his initial indictment in September, “used his influence and power” and violated his duty in order to introduce businessman developer Fred Daibes to a potential Qatari investor. The indictment does not make clear how Qatar benefited from the deal.
