REUTERS/Craig Hudson./File PhotoNEW YORK - U.S. Senator Bob Menendez is set to enter a plea on Monday to a new indictment charging him with conspiring to act as an unregistered foreign agent for the Egyptian government.

Menendez is expected to be asked to enter a plea to the new charge at the 3 p.m. EDT arraignment before U.S. District Judge Sidney Stein. His lawyers did not respond to a request for comment. The senator and his wife Nadine Menendez had previously been charged with accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cash and gold bars from three New Jersey businessmen in exchange for using his influence to benefit Egypt's government and interfere with law enforcement probes into the businessmen.

Under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, individuals must register with the department if they act as"an agent of a foreign principle."
