Dozens of federal grand jury subpoenas have gone out in recent months in connection with a new probe into Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey, according to a report.
One of the entities tied to the investigation is IS EG Halal of Edgewater, New Jersey, which bills itself as the “only entity exclusively authorized by the Government of Egypt to certify Halal exports worldwide,” according to NBC News.
An attorney for the company owner, Wael Hana, said Mr. Hana is aware of the U.S. government’s investigation “but he does not know what it is about.”
“For some time now, he has asked the prosecutors to share with him their concerns so that he could respond to them and, in a spirit of cooperation, share with them his explanations with regard to those concerns,” attorney Lawrence Lustberg told NBC.
