Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez has pleaded not guilty to federal corruption charges.

The senior lawmaker from New Jersey is accused of accepting bribes in exchange for using his official role as head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee − a position he has since stepped down from − to benefit the government of Egypt, according to the unsealed indictment.

Menendez entered his plea late Wednesday morning in a federal courtroom in Manhattan.

He and his wife, Nadine Arslanian Menendez, arrived at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse shortly after 8 a.m. The couple held hands as they pushed their way forward through a gaggle of press and photographers. In the distance, a bystander yelled “Resign!”
