Another round of federal grand jury subpoenas went out this week in connection with the ongoing corruption investigation into New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez.
as to whether he and his wife improperly took cash and gifts from the owners of an Edgewater halal meat business IS EG Halal.“I know of an investigation. Don’t know the scope or the subjects and of course stand ready to help authorities when and if they ask any questions,” Menendez said in October.The two sources said the newly issued subpoenas – including the one delivered to Sacco – are unrelated to any allegations involving the meat company and the senator.
As for Menendez and IS EG Halal, questions continue to swirl as to how the Edgewater business won an exclusive worldwide contract with Egypt for Islamic certification of imports — as numerous other firms suddenly had their contracts cancelled back in 2019. Numerous sources said Menendez’s wife is friends with the IS EG owners. The senator is chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee, which oversees billions in aid to Egypt.
Lawyers for IS EG have denied any wrongdoing and the owners have said they won the contract with Egypt on merit. But other firms in the industry are raising questions.
