A legal demand from the New Jersey AG’s Office reveals that a corruption investigation into several super PACs and nonprofits associated with Sean Caddle and other New Jersey Democrats cast a wider net and went on far longer than was previously known
Teixeira, who’s often referred to in political circles as “Tony Tex,” was chief of staff to state Sen. Raymond Lesniak at the time of the alleged payments. During the tail end of the time period, he also served as chair of the Democratic Party in Elizabeth — New Jersey’s fourth largest city — and still is. In 2018, Teixeira became chief of staff to state Sen. Nicholas Scutari , now the president of the state Senate.
“It’s the first time I’m hearing about those subpoenas or any of that stuff. So I’m really not going to make a comment,” Teixeira said when reached by phone on Thursday. The state Attorney General’s Office declined to comment. Caddle’s attorney, Ed Jacobs, did not respond to a phone call seeking comment.
There is no reason to believe Scutari is or was a target of the Attorney General’s investigation. State investigators could not have known he would become Senate president at the time they issued the subpoena, as the position only opened up after the shocking November election loss of former Senate President Steve Sweeney.

I’ve never been questioned. I’ve never been subpoenaed.
