U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez, D-New Jersey, faces two additional bribery counts in a superseding indictment accusing him of accepting a $20,000 contribution to his legal defense fund in exchange for a promise to perform an official act for co-defendant Salomon Melgen.

The Oct. 7 superseding indictment corrects a “charging defect” that prompted U.S. District Judge William Walls to dismiss a prior charge related to that alleged act, the Department of Justice says in court papers.
