A | Federal prosecutors filed new charges Thursday against Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., accusing him of violating a prohibition on members of Congress from acting as an agent of a foreign principal.The superseding indictment said Menendez "made multiple requests for the U.S. Department of Justice to commence an investigation against another person for allegedly failing to register under FARA."Menendez faced a sweeping indictment in late September accusing him and his wife of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars of bribes in exchange for using the senator's power and influence to seek to protect and enrich the businessman.The superseding indictment includes four new charges and appears to mark the first time a sitting member of Congress has ever been charged with conspiracy for a public official to act as a foreign agent.The indictment alleges Menendez conspired with his wife, Nadine Menendez, and New Jersey businessman Wael Hana to have the senator act as an agent of Egypt.The indictment includes new photos of Menendez, his wife and Hana dining with Egyptian officials that prosecutors said were part of a "corrupt agreement" to provide the senator and his wife with hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in exchange for official acts taken to benefit the Egyptians.Once Nadine Menendez informed her friend Hana that she was dating Menendez, prosecutors said the two "arranged a series of meetings and dinners" with Egyptian officials. In exchange for bribe payments, Menendez was meant to help lift a block on U.S. military aide to Egypt, the indictment says."The new allegation that Wael Hana was part of a plot concocted over dinner to enlist Senator Menendez as an agent of the Egyptian Government is as absurd as it is false," Hana's lawyer, Larry Lustberg, said in a statement to ABC News. "As with the other charges in this indictment, Mr. Hana will vigorously defend against this baseless allegation."The new indictment also alleges Nadine Menendez set up an LLC to receive bribe payments, quoting a message from her saying "every time I'm in a middle person for a deal I am asking to get paid and this is my consulting company."As part of the new charges, federal prosecutors sought to seize the senator's home in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, the 2019 Mercedes convertible prosecutors said Nadine Menendez bought with bribe money, nearly half a million dollars in cash and multiple gold bars.Reached by phone, the senator's defense attorney, David Kolansky, said he had no immediate comment.The superseding indictment says Menendez "made multiple requests for the U.S. Department of Justice to commence an investigation against another person for allegedly failing to register under FARA," who appears to be former Republican congressman David Rivera from Florida, who Menendez accused of being an agent for Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro.Menendez, as well as his wife, pleaded not guilty to the first set of charges on Sept. 27.Sen. Marco Rubio, the No. 2 member on the Senate Intelligence Committee behind Menendez, told reporters just after the news broke that he had not yet seen the reporting, but called it concerning."Yeah, I mean, who's in favor of that? I mean, of course it's concerning," Rubio said, but added that Menendez has a right to defend himself."I'm hearing it from you for the first time so if he wants to defend his record, he has a right to do so. And in our country, the government is tasked with the job of proving those cases," Rubio told reporters.Menendez has said he will not step down and strongly denounced the charges in a press conference."Everything I've accomplished I've worked for despite the naysayers and everyone who has underestimated me," he said on Sept. 25. "I recognize this will be the biggest fight yet. But as I have stated throughout this whole process, I firmly believe that when all the facts are presented, not only will I be exonerated, but I still will be New Jersey's senior senator."ABC News' Elizabeth Landers contributed to this report.。 Sophie 编译 夏季开始了，一股即将到来的亚热带气团将给北岛带来一个闷热的开端，可能会有大雨。
B | 塔斯曼海上空形成的低压系统将把亚热带的湿气带过来，预计下周北岛上部将有几波潮湿空气通过。 Advertise with us “周日和下周，湿度水平有时可能达到夏季标准。”Niwa气象学家Ben Noll说。 “如果你走到户外，你会注意到这一点。
C | ” 当气温高到让我们出汗，而空气中又有足够的水蒸气时，我们就会真正开始感到黏糊糊的。 Noll提到了下周一些预测的露点值——露点是指在特定温度下，空气中的水蒸气开始凝结成液态水，比如草上面会有凝结的水。 这也为我们将感受到的闷热提供了一个更好的指标，而不是天气预报中通常使用的“相对湿度”。 “下周，在奥克兰这样的地方，露点将在15摄氏度以上，有时甚至高达18摄氏度或19摄氏度。” “这取决于个人的情况，但一旦露点达到16摄氏度或17摄氏度左右，情况就会变得有点不舒服。
D | ” “我们预计会有三到五天的时间，在这段时间里，会感觉天气有点湿热。” 据MetService报道，随着闷热天气的到来，也可能会出现暴雨，特别是从周六下午到周日的Westland地区。 一股雨带横贯了北岛，正带来大量的雨水和逐渐增强的西北风，尤其是在北岛南端附近。
E | 同时，南岛南部的天气预计将较为干燥，而来自南部的气流可能会给Marlborough Sounds以南的东部地区在下周初带来凉爽的天气。 Noll说，在未来几周，北方可能会有更多闷热的天气。
F | “随着下月的到来，我们似乎会有更多的机会迎来这种潮湿的天气——尽管真正出现类似的热带气候的时间是12月初。” Noll表示，虽然这些亚热带气候模式更像是拉尼娜气候周期，但它强调了一个事实，即使在厄尔尼诺气象系统下，新西兰上方的西太平洋仍在保持温暖。 “在夏季，我们会不时地受到来自北方的气流的影响——可能相对较少——然后其他时候，我们将会受到来自澳大利亚的更干燥、湿度较小的气团的影响。” “我预计我们不会像去年夏天那样经历那么多潮湿的亚热带天气——但在某种程度上，我们下周看到的情况将在整个夏季重复出现。” Niwa将于明天发布12月至2月期间的气候展望。 相关阅读： 暂时温暖别大意，寒冷天气蓄势待发！24小时内气温或骤降10度 奥克兰发布强雷暴监测！下午和晚上北岛或遭遇暴雨和冰雹 恶劣天气又要来了！新西兰多地发布暴雨和强风预警 本周奥克兰等地将有零星阵雨或大雨，周末天气会很好 本周又是天气不稳定的一周 气象部门已发布橙色暴雨警告 全国各地气温骤降，南岛大范围降雪，周末奥克兰多云多雨 假期结束，风雨来袭！奥克兰的雨下午就到！ 天气异常变化：本周五，新西兰这里将下雪 厄尔尼诺来袭 新西兰今夏出现热带气旋的风险有多大？ 炎热干燥！今年夏天新西兰的气温或将飙升至39度 厄尔尼诺现象来了！几周之内，新西兰气候会发生怎样的巨大变化？ 厄尔尼诺来袭 2024或成史上最热一年 “厄尔尼诺”在路上，全球天气会受何影响？ 科学解释：今年雨水为什么格外泛滥？何时到头？ 注：本文为编译/原创，欢迎转发分享；但严禁复制等未经授权的非法使用。违反上述声明者，本网将追究其相关法律责任。使用授权请联系[email protected]。 chineseherald.co.nz All Rights Reserved 版权所有 (责编：Sophie) 相关内容 夏季严打：奥克兰警方上周末抓到19人酒驾，37名司机被开罚单 工党官宣第54届国会团队阵容 部分资深议员排名大跌 奥克兰市长公布交通新计划：乘坐公共交通每周封顶50纽币 奥克兰北岸华人被袭案：嫌犯因精神错乱被判无罪 夜间奥克兰北岸和南区发生两起大火，居民被疏散，一学校今晨关闭 奥克兰北岸路上有一名男子死亡！死因不明，警方正在调查 【先驱自媒】新西兰总理改中文名了！办公室曝光，长这样…… 【先驱自媒】奥克兰市长一年出访4次 上任一年自评为“7分”。
