Free Republic

U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez did not pay for two flights provided by Salomon Melgen – his friend and campaign donor whose office was raided by the FBI Tuesday night – until more than two years later, and after a New Jersey Republican asked the Senate ethics committee to look into his travels. Menendez spokesman Paul Brubaker today said the senator reimbursed Melgen for the flights on January 4 of this year. Both were round trips– one between Florida and the Dominican Republic in August 2010, and one between Teterboro and the Dominican Republic in September 2010. The total amount Menendez...

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 Melgen’s finances and the allegations about Menendez’s trips and contact with prostitutes. A spokesman for Menendez could not be reached for comment, nor...

Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) said that some kind of pathway to citizenship “absolutely” must be part of immigration reform. Immigration officials arrested an illegal immigrant and convicted sex offender interning for Sen. Menendez in December. “Absolutely,” Menendez said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday, when asked if a pathway to citizenship was necessary. “Latino voters in—first of all, Americans support it in poll after poll. Secondly, Latino voters expect it. Thirdly, Democrats want it. And fourth, Republicans need it.” …

New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez is scheduled to appear on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday amid the rekindled firestorm surrounding his trips to the Dominican Republic. Several people at the network, including anchor George Stephanopoulos, haven’t responded when Breitbart News has asked if Stephanopoulos or reporter Martha Raddatz will ask Menendez about his alleged sexual escapades abroad. This reporter interviewed two Dominican Republic women in November, while reporting for The Daily Caller before joining Breitbart News, who claimed Menendez paid them for sex around Easter time this year. The encounter apparently took place at Casa de Campo, a posh...

The media are not covering this story despite the FBI agent in the emails saying that most of the information has been confirmed. If the allegations are true Menendez could be prosecuted under the 2003 PROTECT ACT making travel and having sex with minors knowingly or not a federal offense with up to 30 years in prison. DOCUMENTS published online for the first time Thursday indicate that the FBI opened an inquiry into New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez on August 1, 2012, focusing on repeated trips he took to the Dominican Republic with longtime campaign contributor and Miami eye...

Documents published online for the first time Thursday indicate that the FBI opened an inquiry into New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez on August 1, 2012, focusing on repeated trips he took to the Dominican Republic with longtime campaign contributor and Miami eye doctor Salomon Melgen. TheDC reported in November that Menendez purchased the service of prostitutes in that Caribbean nation at a series of alcohol-fueled sex parties. The documents, which The Daily Caller had obtained hours earlier from an anonymous source, also indicate that Carrie Levine, research director at Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), was alerted...

New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, who allegedly often visits the Dominican Republic to have sex with underpaid hookers at "bunga bunga" style sex parties, employed a sex offender to work as an intern in his office on immigration policy throughout 2012. Zavaleta just so happens to be an illegal immigrant but the Department of Homeland Security instructed ICE agents to postpone deporting him until after Menendez's reelection in November. You just can't make this stuff up. U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez employed as an unpaid intern in his Senate office an illegal immigrant who was a registered sex offender, now under...

NRSC: Menendez may have broken Senate ethics rules, federal campaign finance laws with alleged Dominican sex trip The executive director of National Republican Senatorial Committee said Thursday that New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez “may have violated Senate ethics rules and federal campaign finance laws” with his alleged sex trip to the Dominican Republic. The Daily Caller first reported early on Thursday that two women from the Dominican Republic are alleging Menendez paid them for sex around Easter time this year at Casa de Campo, an expensive 7,000-acre resort in the Dominican Republic. The two women claimed Menendez agreed to...

The Daily Caller reports New Jersey Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez flew to the Dominican Republic last Easter and reportedly engaged in relations with two Dominican prostitutes. My question is simple – When will President Obama and all other Democrats condemn these actions? After all, not condemning it is condoning it. Seems odd to demand people not involved answer for the actions of someone else, doesn’t it? Silly me, I was applying rules Democrats set for Republicans to them.

New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez had loud sex with different women nightly in his Washington, D.C., apartment, his former neighbor told the liberal gossip website Gawker. “We lived below him,” the former neighbor said, according to the website. “It was outrageous. When it started, we thought it was a one-time thing. But it went on for months — hours and hours of headbanging sex.” The report in the liberal Gawker comes on the heels of The Daily Caller’s early Thursday article about how Menendez allegedly paid two women in the Dominican Republic for sex.

New Jersey GOP state Sen. Joe Kyrillos is demanding Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez release his schedule and all travel documents from this spring. Kyrillos’ demand is in response to allegations from two Dominican Republic women who claim Menendez paid them for sex around Easter time this year at Casa de Campo, an expensive 7,000-acre resort in the Dominican Republic. The two women claimed Menendez agreed to pay them $500 for sex acts, but in the end they each received only $100. “Like the recent Secret Service sex scandal in Colombia, the allegations reported today are deeply disturbing and raise serious...

The New Jersey race for U.S. Senate this year pits state Sen. Joe Kyrillos, a universally respected player in Trenton and a key figure in the state Republican Party for a decade, against U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez, a Democrat who is one of the state’s smartest and most capable politicians.

SEX SCANDAL TO HIT CAMPAIGN... STORY SAID TO INVOLVE POWERFUL SENATOR, SOURCES TELL DRUDGE. DAILY CALLER PLANS LATE NIGHT RELEASE...

Two women from the Dominican Republic told The Daily Caller that Democratic New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez paid them for sex earlier this year. In interviews, the two women said they met Menendez around Easter at Casa de Campo, an expensive 7,000-acre resort in the Dominican Republic. They claimed Menendez agreed to pay them $500 for sex acts, but in the end they each received only $100. The women spoke through a translator in the company of their attorney, Melanio Figueroa. Both asked that their identities remain obscured for fear of reprisals in the Dominican Republic. When shown a photograph...

Middletown, November 1... The Kyrillos Campaign today released the following statement in response to allegations made against Senator Bob Menendez: "Like the recent Secret Service sex scandal in Colombia, the allegations reported today are deeply disturbing and raise serious questions," said Kyrillos Campaign Communications Director Meaghan Cronin. "Senator Menendez must do the right thing and help settle this matter by immediately releasing his schedule and travel documents from the time the alleged incidents occurred. The people of New Jersey deserve answers today."

On the one hand, the allegation made by the Daily Caller that Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., flew to the Dominican Republic and paid two women for sex seems just what this campaign season really needs -- a sex scandal. On the other hand, it's not much of a scandal. Menendez is divorced, after all, and laws against soliciting prostitutes are honored more in the breach. To be sure, the senator is being accused of reneging on the transaction, paying only $100 after having promised $500 to one of the young ladies in question.

A spokesman for U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez today responded to allegations that the Democratic senator paid for sex with prostitutes while on a trip to the Dominican Republic, stating that the story is false and the product of the "rightwing smear machine."

New Jersey Democratic Senator Robert Menendez has been allegedly caught in a sex scandal involving underage prostitutes, according to published sources. Senator Menendez, who is divorced, allegedly used taxpayer dollars to pay for the hookers from the Dominican Republic.
