The feds are taking a second look at Sen. Robert “Bob” Menendez (D-NJ) five years after an initial corruption investigation ended in a mistrial.

Michael Soliman, an adviser to the powerful chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told The Post Wednesday that Menendez “is aware of an investigation,” but “does not know the scope.”

“As always, should any official inquiries be made, the Senator is available to provide any assistance that is requested of him or his office,” he added.

The investigation was first reported by Semafor. According to the outlet, Manhattan federal prosecutors have contacted people connected to Menendez and sent at least one subpoena in the case.

Menendez, 68, was indicted in 2015 after prosecutors from the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Unit accused him of accepting lavish bribes from Palm Beach ophthalmologist Dr. Salomon Melgen.

"This pervert piece of trash got how many breaks so far??"

I once asked my then lying, cheating, philandering husband how many chances he thought I'd give him, and his response was: "As many as you are willing to give." Divorced him shortly after. That was 43 years ago. I raised my two sons alone, and never remarried. All these years later, I'm still happy being alone. Any problems I might end up having will be of my own making.

Menendez must have voiced concerns about recent Biden admin aporoaches to softing U.S. positions towards the dictatorship in Venezuela, and they want to put pressure on him to shut up.

New Jersey is the one state legislature that probably could appoint a more corrupt senator then the one they currently have! Still ...

Repeal the 17th Amendment!
