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, spurred by the conservative press, 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 a comment, nor could Melgen
Melgen was first linked to Menendez just before the November elections, when the conservative Daily Caller website interviewed two alleged prostitutes who said they had relations with the New Jersey Democrat at Melgen’s Dominican Republic mansion in Casa de Campo.
After the election, the news died down.
But then, days before Menendez was about to start leading the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as chairman, reporters started receiving a 58-page dossier of emails between a Miami FBI agent and a tipster who claimed that some of the prostitutes had been underage.
“I’m not going to respond to the fallacious allegations of your story,” Menendez told the Daily Caller on Monday when a reporter caught up with him on a train in Washington.
At the time, Menendez had just stepped into the national spotlight along with Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and six other senators who are hammering out a highly watched immigration plan that is the talk of Washington.

it sounds like a smear campaign.
the FBI has covered up sex crime cases involving politicians in the past, from what i have heard.
U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) has written a personal check of $58,000 to reimburse a fundraiser for two round-trip flights he took on a private jet to the Dominican Republic, three years after questions were raised about the senator's travel with fundraiser and friend Dr. Salomon Melgen

It makes me wonder about South Florida in general ..that guy who was a convicted pedo, was friends with Prince Anderew and sent some young girl over to England to meet him was out of S. FL as well.
It makes me wonder if there is something big and organized going on in that area?
