Federal Probe Into Menendez Widens

The federal criminal investigation into Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) is broader than previously known, NBC New York reports.

“The Department of Justice is investigating Menendez’s efforts on behalf of two fugitive bankers from Ecuador… The probe into Menendez’s dealing with the bankers comes as federal authorities are also investigating his relationship to a big campaign donor from Florida. The criminal investigation is focusing in part on the senator’s ties to William and Roberto Isaias and whether the senator crossed a line in trying to help the two brothers stay in the United States.”
