A retired top policeman helped Robert Menendez’s wife-to-be leave the scene of her fatal car crash without a sobriety test or handing over her phone.
The Post has learned that Michael Mordaga, the former director of Hackensack police and an ex-chief of detectives in the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office, was on the scene within minutes when Nadine Arslanian slammed her black Mercedes into Richard Koop in Bogota, NJ, in December 2018.
Mordaga, 66, helped her leave behind the totaled car and take her belongings from it after quizzing the patrolman dealing with the crash on what he planned to do. Dashcam footage and 911 recordings do not show Arslanian asking after the victim, but they do show her refusing to have her cellphone searched and also suggest she did not call 911 until officers were already on the scene — then told them the wrong location for the crash.

Curious if NJ voters think this is business as usual or if they will piss them off?
This is all perfectly normal…
And this is a surprise because...?
First call she made was to.someone who could fix things.
That person tells her he’ll send someone to the scene, Mordaga. And there will be a lawyer, and she shouldn’t say anything, and by the way did she call 911? No, ok, do it now.
He phone records would be fascinating.
Was she talking or texting during the accident? Who did she call first?
Well, they protected Corzine, and no one cared.
Bet you he won’t serve a day in prison for obstruction of justice, aid & abetting, etc.
Par for the course in our banana republic.
She was probably on her phone when she hit Koop, who was jaywalking.
Being a commie has its perks..good thing she wasn’t wearing a maga hat she would be in real doggy doo doo
It's business as usual in Jersey.
I’m on the side of law enforcement, but this is a disgrace!
“Forget it, Jake—it’s New Jersey…”
NJ voters? LOL... they’re (the majority) scumbags just like the politicians they keep voting for. Elected politicians are a perfect representation of the people who put them in office.
It isn’t like this was some fluke. Time after time after time NJ voters elect slimy crooks.
The Soprano State!
well-played, dfwgator.
It IS business as usual in NJ. Democrat politicians and family get a pass from police for things that would have the rest of us in jail. Really makes you want to “back the blue”
“Par for the course in our banana republic.”
