Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) has been accused of acting as a foreign agent in a new superseding indictment, according to multiple reports, as the embattled three-term senator faces more allegations of wrongdoing.
The New Jersey senator was indicted earlier this month on bribery charges.
Menendez is accused of accepting bribes on behalf of a foreign government and allegedly providing sensitive U.S. government information to help the government of Egypt, the indictment says, according to NBC News.
The superseding indictment was filed by a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Thursday.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
