For months, Sen. Bob Menendez has been under criminal investigation as to whether he and his wife improperly took cash and gifts from the owners of IS EG Halal, an Edgewater, New Jersey, halal meat business.
Two sources familiar with the matter said at least one powerful New Jersey politician — North Bergen Mayor Nicholas Sacco — was among those who received a subpoena.
The sources added that the subpoenas in part seek information about certain legislative changes in New Jersey, but they did not offer details.Sacco’s spokesman said, “We do not feel that it would be appropriate to offer any additional comment at this time.” Numerous other sources familiar with matter said some officials at the U.S. Department of Agriculture among those who raised concerns about how the contract was awarded to a New Jersey firm with little prior experience.Additionally, numerous sources said the senator’s wife is friends with the IS EG owners. Menendez chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which oversees billions in U.S. aid to Egypt.
