A federal grand jury issued new subpoenas concerning the criminal investigation into SenateForeign chair SenatorMenendez. Investigators are looking into his and his wife's relationship with the owners of a halal meat business based in New Jersey.
Menendez has been under investigation for months regarding his and his wife's relationship with the owners of IS EG Halal, a halal meat business based in Edgewater, New Jersey. Investigators have been probing whether the couple improperly accepted cash and other gifts from the business owners, as well as how the company secured an exclusive contract with the government of Egypt to certify halal exports.
Those subpoenaed by the Southern District of New York on Wednesday include longtime North Bergen Mayor Nicholas Sacco, whose office said in a statement that he plans to cooperate. A source close to the inquiry told NBC News that Sacco's subpoena seeks information about legislative changes in New Jersey.
A representative for Menendez, who has denied any wrongdoing, declined to comment to the Washington Examiner on the allegations.
