Mr. Menendez, 70, was charged by federal prosecutors with accepting bribes from Fred Daibes, a prominent New Jersey developer, in exchange for the senator's help securing financial backing from an investment fund with ties to the Qatari government.
The new indictment broadens the government's allegations that Mr. Menendez, even as he served as head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, used his official position to convey benefits to foreign governments in return for hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes.
