Sen. Bob Menendez enters not guilty plea to latest criminal indictment

Sen. Bob Menendez and his wife pleaded not guilty Monday to new obstruction of justice charges in a New York court. The new charges were in a rewritten indictment returned last week against the Democrat in Manhattan federal court. “Once again, not guilty your honor,” Menendez responded after Judge Sidney H. Stein asked him to enter a plea at a 20-minute hearing. Menendez had previously pleaded not guilty to charges in October.

A third, Jose Uribe, pleaded guilty two weeks ago to bribery charges and agreed to testify against the others at a trial set for May 6. The new allegations — part of what is now an 18-count indictment — are related to gifts prosecutors say the couple received from Uribe.
