Bogota Nj, according to a Bogota Police Department report Nadine Arslanian Menendez, the spouse of Senator Bob Menendez, and federally indicted in a bribery scheme with her husband, struck and killed a man while driving her Mercedes-Benz on Main Street in Bogota in December 2018.
She was found not at fault for the incident because the man, identified as Richard Koop, was jaywalking when he was hit, according to the New York Times and The Record. She was not given a DUI test at the scene and was immediately allowed to leave after providing a brief statement, according to dashcam footage of her interaction with Bogota police.
Arslanian was born to Armenian parents in Beirut, Lebanon. They fled during that country’s civil war to Greece and, later, to London before moving to the United States. Menendez and Arslanian told The New York Times that they met at a Union City IHOP in December 2018, but according to the Southern District’s indictment, Menendez and Arslanian began dating in February of that year.
In the federal indictment brought by the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, which charges Arslanian and Menendez in a federal bribery scheme, revealed that in January 2019, approximately a month after the crash, Arslanian informed Wael Hana and Jose Uribe, two Egyptian-American businessmen also implicated in the alleged bribery scheme, that she no longer had a vehicle. Hana then provided her with a 2019 Mercedes-Benz — worth more than $60,000 — as detailed in the indictment.
“In exchange, MENENDEZ agreed and sought to interfere in the NJ Attorney General’s criminal insurance fraud prosecution of an associate of URIBE and a related investigation involving an employee of URIBE,” the indictment states.
It was not the first time Arslanian has been involved in a traffic incident. According to public court records, Arslanian reportedly racked up several penalties between 2007 and 2021, including using a mobile phone while driving, ignoring traffic signals and unsafe passing, adding up to about $410 total.

The fixer Mike Mordaga came to the scene. Bobby must have his cell phone number.
She wouldn’t turn over her cell phone to the police at the scene. Which means she was texting, and at fault.
Once again the Main Stream Media buried a story that would have hurt one of our Democratic senators …
