New Menendez Indictment Reignites Calls That He Resign, as Prosecutors Accuse Senator of Being ‘Foreign Agent’ for Egypt While Leading Foreign Relations Committee

Critics of Senator Menendez are doubling down on calls for him to resign after a superseding indictment accused the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of acting as a foreign agent for Egypt while occupying the Senate’s premier foreign policy seat.
