WASHINGTON — New Jersey Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez faces another federal investigation about five years after a trial on federal corruption charges ended in a mistrial, a Menendez adviser confirmed Wednesday.
“Senator Menendez is aware of an investigation that was reported on today; however, he does not know the scope of the investigation,” the adviser, Michael Soliman, said in an email. “As always, should any official inquiries be made, the senator is available to provide any assistance that is requested of him or his office.”
The new investigation was first reported by digital news organization Semafor, which cited two unnamed people familiar with the probe being conducted by federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York.
