In late 2020, Sen. Bob Menendez met with Philip Sellinger, a private practice lawyer and former fundraiser for the senator, to assess his potential fit as the next U.S. attorney for the state of New Jersey - and to discuss one case in particular.
If appointed, Sellinger would assume control of one of the largest prosecutor’s offices in the country, a post that comes with the power to bust mob bosses and go after corrupt public officials.
Menendez has denied wrongdoing, blaming the prosecution on “forces behind the scenes” who “cannot accept that a first-generation Latino American from humble beginnings could rise to be a U.S. Senator.” An attorney for Daibes, Tim Donohue, said he was confident his client would be “completely exonerated of all charges.”
That report found Daibes rented a discounted apartment to Edgewater’s mayor and provided several million dollars in revenue to a local councilman’s business, while accruing development rights and reneging on promises to build affordable housing. “There’s fraud all over that town,” she told The Associated Press on Friday. “When he’s in jail, maybe that will provide some relief.”
