A good-government group wants the Department of Justice to find out if Phillip Sellinger helped Menendez allegedly try to protect co-accused Fred Daibes.
Defiant NJ Sen. Bob Menendez pleads not guilty to new foreign agent charge in NYC federal courtSen. Bob Menendez amasses $274K defense fund from powerbrokers’ donations: filingNew Jersey’s top federal prosecutor is facing a call to be investigated over whether he gave indicted Sen. Bob Menendez inside information about the man accused of bribing the Democrat with gold bars.
Daibes is accused by federal prosecutors of plying Menendez, 69, and second wife Nadine Arslanian, 56, with hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, gold bars, furniture in return for the Democratic senator trying to “disrupt” a federal fraud case against him — and doing Daibes other favors.
“On or about January 21, 2022, Menendez called Official-3 and asked the identity of Official-3’s First Assistant US Attorney ,” says the federal indictment. “As a result of Official-3’s recusal, Official-4 had supervisory responsibility over the prosecution of Daibes.” As late as March 2022, Menendez asked an unidentified “advisor” to press the case with Sellinger, prosecutors say.
Now Sellinger is facing a call to be investigated in a complaint from Anderson to the Department of Justice. All four have pleaded not guilty to all charges and the senator has rejected calls from his own party to step down, saying he will fight the case and run for re-election.
