FBI agents late Tuesday night raided the West Palm Beach business of an eye doctor suspected of providing free trips and even underage Dominican Republic prostitutes to U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J. who has denied what he calls the fallacious allegations.
Agents gathered at the medical-office complex of Dr. Salomon Melgen, a contributor to Menendez and other prominent politicians, to start hauling away potential evidence in several vans.
The investigation is believed to be focusing on Melgens finances and the allegations about Menendezs trips and contact with prostitutes. A spokesman for Menendez could not be reached for comment, nor could Melgen.
Melgen has an outstanding IRS lien of $11.1 million for taxes owed from 2006 to 2009, according to records filed with the Palm Beach County recorders office. A previous IRS lien for $6.2 million was released in 2011.
Despite those financial problems, Melgen and his family have contributed at least $357,000 to candidates and committees since 1998, according to Florida and federal campaign records. Of that, the Melgens have contributed about 9 percent to Menendezs federal campaigns.
Melgen also owns a private CL-600 Challenger plane through one of his West Palm Beach-based companies, and frequently flies between South Florida and Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic, where he is from

It would appear Menendez did something to PO The Messiah. Comes a day or so after Menendez indicated borders must be sealed before a path to citizenship for illegals in USA can go forward. FBI would not act with Holder approval.

That’s odd. There’s nothing about this on CNN....
LOL. They have more important things to report - like some crimminal selling a large soda to a customer in NYC.
The purpose of the raid was likely to find and destroy any evidence that could be used to convict Menendez. And anyone who believes the FBI has not become that corrupted needs a serious wake-up call.
He’s a democrat. This won’t stick. Wait 3 years - he’ll be rising rapidly within the ranks of the party.
Interesting developments from the FBI. First the Jackson clan in Chicago who had many words exchanged with his Imperial Highness are going down, and there are a few others worthy of speculation who have gone down. Now Menendez, were there any “exchanges” between him and his highhandedness ?
Has Menendez’s office been raided?
Good point. Sad, but probably true.
I think we can expect to see a big push for legalizing pedophilia from Menendez.

You’re wrong. They’re NOT the norm. If you think they are - give some examples of other Senators having sex with children.
That said, the FBI might have gotten the mother lode on this one - I suspect other dems will be exposed soon...
Senator Menendez does math: When two whores have sex, no one pays because it’s a “Zero Sum Gain”
It would be funny except ‘the whores’ are children...
