The decision to award the contract to the company, which is run by a Christian and lacks experience in halal certification, has attracted scrutiny. Now, law enforcement is working to determine whether Menendez, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that dishes out billions of dollars to Egypt, took action in the Senate to benefit the company in exchange for gifts.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am sure it is going to end up in absolutely nothing,&#8221; Menendez told NBC News last week. However, news of a federal investigation into the senator broke in November 2021. The investigation dates back to 2019, when Egypt made the decision to grant IS EG Halal the exclusive contract.<\/p>\n<h3>Previous Corruption Case<\/h3>\n<p>Menendez was previously tried in 2017 in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dem-senator-and-wife-under-scrutiny-in-federal-corruption-investigation\/\" title=\"Dem Senator and Wife Under Scrutiny in Federal Corruption Investigation\">public-corruption case<\/a>, which ended in a mistrial. He was tried for allegedly taking $1 million in gifts, including private flights and trips, from a Florida doctor who wanted help with visas.<\/p>\n<h3>Stay Tuned for Updates<\/h3>\n<p>As the investigation into Senator Menendez continues, we will keep you updated on any new developments.<\/p>\n<h3>References:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnewyork.com\/investigations\/did-sen-robert-menendez-and-wife-get-car-dc-apartment-other-gifts-from-nj-business\/4367312\/?_branch_match_id=1007333645831227908&#038;utm_medium=share&#038;_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAA8soKSkottLXz0tKzkstr8wvytZLLCjQy8nMy9YviPBzNClOTzGrSgIAH1VvaCcAAAA%3D\" target=\"_blank\">NBC News<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/sen-menendez-and-wife-under-scrutiny-in-federal-corruption-investigation\/\" target=\"_blank\">Free Beacon<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
