Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino says he has sights set on future run for New Jersey governor

North Bergen Mayor Nicholas Sacco has been subpoenaed as part of a criminal investigation into Democratic U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez.

Menendez is under investigation into whether improperly took cash and gifts from a Halal meat company in Edgewater.

RELATED: Sen. Menendez says federal corruption investigation into him ‘will result in nothing.’

Authorities say that the subpoena for Sacco is not related to this. They say they are seeking information about legislative changes in New Jersey.

A spokesperson for Sacco wrote in part, “Mayor Sacco has been assured that he is not a target of the investigation and was approached only as a potential witness, and he intends to cooperate fully and provide any requested information as he would with any law enforcement inquiry.”

Sacco was reelected Thursday to a ninth term as mayor.
