The Department of Justice is investigating whether expensive gifts were allegedly given to New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez and his wife, including a Mercedes-Benz, a luxury D.C. apartment, money and jewelry, sources familiar with the matter said.
According to sources, investigators want to know if the gifts – which would be valued in the tens of thousands of dollars – came from the owner or associates of an Edgewater business that won a controversial exclusive contract to perform Halal meat certification with the Egyptian government – even though United States Department of Agriculture officials complained that the New Jersey firm had no previous experience in this field.
"I am sure it is going to end up in absolutely nothing," Menendez said last week denying any wrongdoing in connection with the ongoing federal corruption investigation.

You got to give him credit for his tenacity, he's been under more investigations than even Trump.

Maybe it's a shared, ummm, interest.
Hasn't Menendez been under investigation for corruption before? In a less my-party-member-right-or-wrong time he'd get the Adam Clayton Powell Jr. treatment.
