Word of an investigation into this deal was published in September in the Star-Ledger of Newark, which reported that U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie had subpoenaed records related to the lease. In a subsequent TV interview, Menendez seemed to confirm the basic details when he told George Stephanopoulos on ABC News's "This Week" that he welcomed the investigation and looked forward to "its successful conclusion." Later, Menendez told reporters that he'd misspoken, noting that not every subpoena leads to an investigation.

A voice-over accuses Menendez of helping mobsters and consorting with a cocaine trafficker and notes in bright bold letters that Menendez -- take a swig -- is under "federal criminal investigation."
