<p>The federal criminal corruption investigation into Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-senator-bob-menendez-under-federal-criminal-investigation-again-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robert Menendez</a> (D-NY), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has recently expanded after another round of grand jury subpoenas were sent out this week.</p>
<p>NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/criminal-probe-sen-bob-menendez-expands-new-subpoenas-rcna83646" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that the new criminal investigation into Menendez, which first made news last October, originally centered around how IS EG Halal, a New Jersey-based halal meat business, won &#8220;an exclusive worldwide contract with Egypt to certify halal exports — as numerous other firms’ contracts were suddenly canceled in 2019.&#8221;</p>
<p>Numerous sources told the publication that the U.S. Agriculture Department was suspicious over how the large contract was awarded to the company which had &#8220;little experience.&#8221;</p>
<p>Menendez&#8217;s wife is friends with the company&#8217;s owners, the report said, and the senator&#8217;s position as chairman on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee puts him in charge of billions of dollars in weapons sales to Egypt.</p>
<p>However, the latest subpoenas that were issued in the criminal investigation are not related to allegations involving the meat company and Menendez, the report said.</p>
<p>Sources told the publication that the North Bergen Democrat Mayor Nicholas Sacco was one of the people who received a subpoena in this last batch to go out. The report described Sacco as a &#8220;powerful&#8221; politician in New Jersey.</p>
<p>The subpoena seeks information about &#8220;certain legislative changes in New Jersey,&#8221; the report said, but no further details were available.</p>
<p>In 2015, Menendez was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-senator-bob-menendez-under-federal-criminal-investigation-again-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">indicted</a> on bribery charges for allegedly accepting “luxury vacations, golf outings, campaign donations and expensive flights” from Florida physician Salomon Melgen in exchange for political favors. A federal jury in Florida convicted Melgen in April of “67 charges for operating what prosecutors called a massive scheme that robbed Medicare out of as much as $105 million,” the <a href="https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/crime/2017/04/28/eye-doc-melgen-guilty-in/6873372007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Palm Beach Post</a> reported.</p>

<p>Prosecutors began investigating Menendez when they were <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/09/05/everything-you-need-to-know-about-sen-bob-menendezs-corruption-trial/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tipped off</a> in 2012 that Menendez was allegedly having sex with underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic.</p>
<p>The jury was split in the trial and a mistrial was declared.</p>
<p>The DOJ was set to re-charge Menendez when the judge dismissed 7 of the 18 charges against him, the report said.</p>
<p>A separate <a href="https://www.semafor.com/article/10/25/2022/senator-robert-menendez-under-investigation-again" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from Semafor said that the new criminal case against Menendez mirrors the prior criminal case that Menendez faced.</p>
<p>The report noted that federal prosecutors rarely ever lose in court and so the fact that they are bringing a new criminal case against Menendez “after its humiliating public failure to convict him” likely means that they believe they have a stronger case this time.</p>
<p>When a mistrial was declared during the first criminal case, Menendez resorted to implying that racists were the reason he came under investigation. Prosecutors ultimately decided against retrying him.</p>
