"Feds Target Bob Menendez, Testing Democrats' Loyalty Once More"

Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey, a Democrat, is once again under investigation by federal prosecutors, this time along with his wife, regarding their connections to a company that secured an exclusive contract to certify meat exports to Egypt. Menendez has a history of being targeted by authorities, but has not been charged with any crimes. Despite the investigation, few in New Jersey politics are willing to write him off, and Democrats are reluctant to ask him to step down due to his strong influence and the upcoming reelection race in 2024.
