Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) has entered a plea of not guilty to his most recent indictment of acting as an unregistered foreign agent for the Egyptian government during an appearance in court on Oct. 23.

The plea hearing took place before U.S. District Judge Sidney Stein of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, where the former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee confronted federal prosecutors’ accusations that he conspired to act as an unregistered foreign agent.
