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.。与大多数机上Wi-Fi提供的典型速度相比，这当然是一个大飞跃。 OneZero报告说，大多数航班使用的是空对地系统，每架航班的最高速度约为10Mbps（而且只在陆地上空飞行时工作），而目前的卫星系统通常提供30Mbps至100Mbps速率。取决于每次飞行中使用互联网的乘客数量，每架飞机的网速都与标称速度有所不同。SpaceX网站上的支持页面声称，其Starlink Aviation互联网连接将在整个滑行、起飞、水陆飞行和着陆过程中可用，延迟低至20毫秒，并且将覆盖全球。官网上的一个常见问题解答中写道。"由于卫星在低地球轨道上移动，在高纬度地区和极地地区总有卫星在头顶或附近提供强大的信号--与地球静止的卫星不同。"预计该服务将于2023年中期开始交付。据Aviacionline报道，在最近的一次测试飞行中，Starlink航空能够在机上提供100Mbps的互联网速度。JSX在伯班克和加州圣何塞之间的一次飞行中进行了演示，该公司在4月宣布它将成为首批采用机上互联网服务的航空公司之一。9月，JSX首席执行官Alex Wilcox说，他预计本月开始向乘客提供该服务，并在年底前让公司的每一架飞机都配备该系统，夏威夷航空公司也在4月宣布与Starlink达成协议，预计明年开始安装。SpaceX首席执行官埃隆·马斯克早就讨论过该公司为飞机提供Starlink互联网服务的计划。
