Former Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid is expected to be called to testify in the corruption trial of Sen. Robert Menendez, a source with knowledge of the situation told Fox News on Friday.
Menendez is accused of accepting campaign donations, gifts and vacations from Florida ophthalmologist Dr. Salomon Melgen. In return, Menendez, D-N.J., allegedly used his Senate powers to lobby on behalf of Melgens business interests.
Reid's name re-emerged weeks ago in the case, when prosecutors said the former congressional leader was first enlisted by Menendez in November 2011 to advocate for Melgen in the ongoing dispute the doctor had with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Speculation has focused on a possible trial appearance by Reid following testimony this week from another former senator, Democrat Tom Harkin. The former Iowa senator said he attended a meeting in 2011 facilitated by Menendez, in which he and Melgen discussed an $8.9 million Medicare dispute.
Reid, D-Nev., already has met with the Justice Department and the FBI in connection with the investigation, back in 2015.

And we all know whore house Harry always tells the truth.
I bet Dirty Harry is sweating bullets right about now.
Good
Uh oh. Someone unplug his treadmill
before it wrestles him to the ground, again.
Notice how quite reid has been since out of senate?
Exactly, haven’t heard squat out of him.
The image of Harry with black eyes ought to impress the jury.
Then again, enforcement action would fit right in with the locals in New Jersey....Harry would have neighborhood credibility. /s
Why isn’t Hairy called in the Bunkerville litigation?
LOL! That’s quite a photo. :-)
I like that photo. Dingy Harry had better toe the line or Bruno will do the other side.
The above teaser doesn’t specify if he is appearing as a witness on behalf of the prosecution or defense. A rather important point but glossed over by the Fox News copy editors.
The democraps have been howling and whining (still are) about Trump this and Trump that and calling for impeachment and investigations and all it has done is expose the democraps complicity in attempting (and in a couple of cases succeeding) to bring the Republicans down
All this noise from them has focused the spotlight on THEM and away from the Republicans
This is just good ol' American just desserts.
Guaranteed there are a bunch of younger ones waiting in the wings to take the places of all these old horses.
Obviously a character witness.
Seems like this trial has been going on for a long time. But I haven’t heard much about it on MSM.
Yep, Menendez was indicted over two years ago and the trial started for him on Sept 6 but you’d never know it from the enemedia, they seem to only report on Republican perceived corruption or indictments and trials.
Reid is one of the most destructive pols in US history. Perhaps a flaming car crash on the way? A driverless car that drives off of Hoover Dam? A meteor strikes the back seat sparing the driver?
