Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) is once again under federal investigation, this time for allegedly accepting a luxury vehicle from a halal meat company. And now even his wife, Nadine Arslanian is involved over accepting gifts from IS EG Halal, in New Jersey.
The company won an exclusive contract with Egypt to certify halal meat exports to the country, which is rather strange seeing that the business is run by a non-Muslim who also lacks experience in halal certification.
Now law enforcement is working to determine whether Menendez, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee [after having to step down in the past over these damning allegations] used his Senate seat and took action to benefit the company in exchange for gifts. The committee Menendez chairs hands out billions of dollars to Egypt, by the way.
"I am sure it is going to end up in absolutely nothing," Menendez told NBC News last week. And he's likely correct because there are some people who are untouched by the law, as if it doesn't apply to them. Hunter Biden and his dad comes to mind, as well as Antifa and BLM.
News of a federal investigation into the senator broke in November. The investigation dates back to 2019, when Egypt made the decision to grant IS EG Halal the exclusive contract.
Menendez was previously tried in 2017 in a public-corruption case, which ended in a mistrial. He was tried for allegedly taking $1 million in gifts—including private flights and trips—from his close friend Salomon Melgen, a Florida opthamalogist who wanted help with visas.
