Democrat Senator under federal investigation this time for accepting luxury car and apartment

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.

Democrat Senator under investigation . . . again

According to Semafor, Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez (NJ) is the subject of a new federal investigation, they reported Wednesday. Prosecutors contacted those connected with Menendez and at least one subpoena has been issued.

This isn't the senator's first rodeo. In 2015, he and Florida eye doctor Salomon Melgen were indicted whereby Melgen allegedly provided flights on a private jet and expensive vacations in exchange for Menendez's helping him out with government contracts, among other scummy things.

Sadly, the case ended in a mistrial in 2017 as the jury failed to reach a verdict. According to the senator's lawyers, he and Melgen were merely good friends without benefits.

Now it appears that the new probe is similar to the 2017 case, according to sources who wish to remain anonymous to avoid future mishaps. But these sources say that in this case, other people are involved, not the same original alleged miscreants as before.

Spokesman for Menendez, Francisco Pelayo, would not comment on the report, nor would a spokesman for the Southern District of New York.

But Menendez isn't worried. Corruption cases have historically been hard to prove, even when it involves a former President and the late, not so great, Jeffrey Epstein.
