State Sen. Joe Kyrillos has called on Sen. Bob Menendez to removed himself from the probe of MF Global, the company once run by Jon Corzine, former governor, former Wall Street Wizard. "I am concerned that Senator Menendez’s personal and professional relationship with former New Jersey governor and MF Global Holdings CEO Jon Corzine could be a conflict of interest during the Committee’s investigation," said Kyrillos who seeks the GOP nomination to take on Menendez in the fall. Menendez is on the Senate Banking Committee. “In the hearing last week, Menendez
shifted the blame for the failure of MF Global to technology issues, poor capitalization, structural problems, or whatever other red herring he could think of,” Kyrillos said.
Menendez campaign manager Michael Soliman dismissed Kyrillos' remarks.
