The New Jersey attorney general’s office has opened an inquiry into how local law enforcement handled an investigation into a December 2018 car crash that involved Sen. Robert Menendez’s wife Nadine, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the situation. Nadine Menendez had been dating the New Jersey Democrat when she hit a man with her car on Dec. 12, 2018, in the town of Bogota. Menendez, then known by her maiden name Nadine Arslanian, left the scene without being charged.
Menendez, then known by her maiden name Nadine Arslanian, wasn't tested for drugs or alcohol at the scene and Bogota police quickly concluded she wasn't at fault and allowed her to leave the scene.She told police the man had run across the street in front of her car and she didn't see him until he hit her windshield. Police said Koop was wearing a dark-colored jacket, wasn't in a crosswalk, and been drinking at a tavern before the crash.
The office of New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin declined to comment, saying in an email, “The office does not confirm or deny investigations.”“We understand that true accidents happen,” his sister, Rosemarie Koop-Angelicola, told the AP on Thursday. “We’re willing to accept that, but only with a full and proper investigation. There’s gaping holes in this.”
Police dashcam video recorded officers interviewing Menendez about the crash. She declined to give police permission to take possession of her phone.
