WASHINGTON (OfficialWire) — Sen. Robert Menendez’s office said Wednesday that he traveled three times on a plane owned by a prominent Florida political donor but that the trips were paid for and reported appropriately. At the same time, Menendez’s office said unsubstantiated allegations the senator engaged in sex with prostitutes in the Dominican Republic are false.
The FBI searched the West Palm Beach, Fla., office of the donor — eye doctor Salomon Melgen — on Tuesday night and early Wednesday, but it was unclear if the raid was related to Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat.
Records filed in Palm Beach County show an Internal Revenue Service lien against Melgen of more than $11.1 million for unpaid taxes from 2006 through 2009. Prior liens for taxes from 1998 to 2002 were subsequently withdrawn, records show.
The Daily Caller, a conservative website, reported shortly before the November election that Menendez traveled on Melgen’s private plane to the Dominican Republic to engage in sex with prostitutes.
Menendez’s office said that any accusations of engaging with prostitutes “are manufactured by a politically motivated right-wing blog and are false.”
At FBI headquarters in Washington, spokesman Jason Pack said the bureau “cannot comment on the existence or status of an investigation.” Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler also declined to comment.

“Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler also declined to comment.” No big surprise!
Tracy doesn’t work for the American people although we pay his salary. He works for Holder who is un-american like Obama.
As for Menendez and Melgen—-
AND MAY THE FIREY GATES OF HELL OPEN UP AND DEVOUR THESE EVIL DEMONS OF SATAN! Oops! Got a little carried away there! Oh well, they’re just Demorats fantacizing about their hippy past!
I hope his wife never has sex with him again and if she does, she’s a bigger fool that he was for shacking around.
You mean like Hillary Clinton did? All these sick “fatherless” jackasses should be in prison where they could be raped by fellow inmates! Obama and his Muslim edicts worship Mohammed the pedophile.
Pig, and pig enabler.
Here, we see a reasonably open and shut case of how too many occupants of the USCongress valuate the positions into which they are elected by the citizenry they are charged to represent.
Sex with ones spouse is a lovely experience, and to be cherished as long as the body holds out. Sex with prostitutes is not unlike whore-hopping, and falls within the classification of whore-hopping. Whore-hoppers who misuse their congressional positions in order to carry out their sexual lust deserve the most severe of penalties that can possibly be applied to them. Similarly, the alias, “Barrack H. Obama”, and all the illuminati-type, secret society satanists who illegally slid him into the POTUS slot, deserve the most severe punishment possible.
It is past time for the FBI to get real, and behave IAW the charter. Perhaps, also, re-establish a Hecht Company. All my suits have long since worn out.
