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.

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."

Dominican hookers, to be specific. This is what we’re hearing about the sex scandal involving a “powerful senator” in a headline being touted by Drudge, with a story by the Daily Caller promised late tonight. UPDATE: Shortly after the Drudge Report headline went up, my associate Ali Akbar got a tip that the story involved Sen. Menendez of New Jersey and at least one prostitute with whom he trysted on a taxpayer-funded trip to the Dominican Republic. Within one hour, Akbar had confirmed this with other sources, and we understand that numerous reporters in D.C. have heard similar reports. UPDATE...

Consultants say Menendez story lacks staying power The Daily Caller broke a story on the Drudge Report Thursday alleging New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez paid prostitutes for sex during a trip to the Dominican Republic. According to the story, Menendez agreed to pay two women $500 each for "sex acts." In the end, according to the women, Menendez only doled out $100 each. It is an "October Surprise," and one that in most circumstances would have damaging effects. But crisis management experts caution this scandal lacks key components necessary to catch fire and push Menendez off the 14-point lead...

Middletown, N.J. — It takes Joe Kyrillos, a 52-year-old state senator, 15 minutes to reach his table at the New Monmouth Diner. It’s late in the afternoon and the crowd has thinned, but two silver-haired grandfathers want a word, and a young mother with a child at her knee has a question. Waitresses hoisting heavy trays of burgers and Cokes brush past Kyrillos as he moves from booth to booth, talking politics.Kyrillos is running for the U.S. Senate against Senator Bob Menendez, the Garden State’s junior senator and the head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. As a Republican...

A fundraiser Mitt Romney held Wednesday for New Jersey state Sen. Joe Kyrillos (R) brought in $400,000, a campaign aide said. Romney traveled to Bernardsville, N.J., for the $5,000-per-plate dinner, where about 80 supporters showed up. A close friend and ally of Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.), another Romney backer, Kyrillos is running to unseat Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), who is seeking his second term in the Senate. Christie has been fundraising for Kyrillos, too, but Menendez has a more than 4-to-1 advantage over Kyrillos in cash on hand.
