It seems that Democrat Senator Bob Mendez may be joining a lot of other notable Democrats behind bars.
Reports: Grand jury investigating Senator Menendez
A grand jury is investigating New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez’s ties to Democratic Party mega-donor Dr. Salomon Melgen, the Washington Post reports.
The Post’s Carol Leonnig and Peter Wallsten cite “three people aware of the probe” as saying a Miami federal grand jury has launched an investigation into Menendez’s activity in government advocating in favor of business interests of Melgen, including the now infamous port security contract that would make Melgen $250 million over a decade if approved.
“As part of the grand jury investigation, the three people said, federal agents have questioned witnesses about the interactions between Menendez and Melgen, who contributed $700,000 last year to Menendez and other Senate Democrats,” Leonnig and Wallsten wrote. “The grand jury has also issued subpoenas for Melgen’s business and financial records, according to two people briefed on the probe who, like the others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an on-going investigation. Federal agents have not contacted Menendez, according to a person familiar with the case.”
The Daily Caller confirmed the Washington Post’s report, citing an “FBI agent in a supervisory position on the East Coast of the U.S.”
