“The Justice Department is weighing possible charges against Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) after a yearslong public-corruption probe,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Prosecutors are expected to meet with his lawyers in the coming weeks ahead of a final decision.”
“The probe in part has examined whether he or his wife, Nadine Arslanian, received gifts in exchange for political favors… Prosecutors also have investigated the circumstances surrounding a lucrative contract that a New Jersey businessman secured with Egyptian officials for certifying halal meat exports.”
