Senator Robert Menendez, D-N.J. faces a new federal investigation, according to two people familiar with the inquiry.
Prosecutors in the Southern District of New York have contacted people connected to Menendez in recent weeks, the sources said. They have sent at least one subpoena in the case, according to a person connected to the inquiry.
An advisor to Menendez responded to a request for comment hours after Semafor published the original story. "Senator Menendez is aware of an investigation that was reported on today, however he does not know the scope of the investigation," Michael Soliman texted Semafor. "As always, should any official inquiries be made, the Senator is available to provide any assistance that is requested of him or his office."
Menendez and a Florida eye doctor, Salomon Melgen, were indicted in 2015 for an alleged arrangement under which the doctor provided flights on a private jet and lavish vacations in exchange for the senator’s help with government contracts and other public favors. Menendez’s lawyers argued that the two men were simply good friends. The inquiry ended in a mistrial in 2017 after the jury failed to reach a verdict. (Melgen was convicted in 2017 of medicare fraud, and received clemency from President Donald Trump in 2021.)

What is he being investigate for? Pedo charges? China money? Russian honeypots? The imagination runs wild.
More sex with underage girls?
The investigation will be short lived as soon as they realize he’s a Democrat . . .
he pissed off someone
this is a shot across his bow
“God Bless... zee leetle girls.....” Maurice Chevalier he’s not.
Paedo Menendez... no pedro that’s for sure.
Dude’s best friend S. FL medicare fraudsters opthamologist— from Dominican Republic originally— set up PAEDO trips for extremely young human trafficked girls (boys? who knows).
Didn’t know that “DR” Melgen got clemency from Trump. He shouldn’t have. It wasn’t just “lavish” Dominican Republic trips— it was human trafficking— maybe he turned state’s evidence so Trump got leverage out of it.
BTW, He tried to meddle in another election ...
The Frito Bandito rides again! Chasing down those young senoritas. Ole!
No surprise here.
Probably investigated for not supporting a fellow rat or rats
