Feds investigating if Menendez and wife got gifts including D.C. apartment, Mercedes and jewelry

Quick Summary

The Justice Department is investigating whether expensive gifts were given to Sen.Robert Menendez, D-N.J., and his wife, including a Mercedes and an apartment.

Senate rules state in part that gifts to a member or someone close to him are considered gifts if a senator “has reason to believe the gift was given because of the official position.

Sources close to IS EG Halal said Hana, the owner, has been longtime friends with the senator’s wife — and that friendship existed long before she even met the senator.
