Grand corruption
Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) was indicted on public
corruption charges by a federal grand jury in Newark, N.J., according to the
Associated Press. After a more than two-year investigation, Menendez faces
charges for what prosecutors believe were improper efforts by Menendez to help
Salomon Melgen, a Florida-based doctor who was also a contributor to Menendez’s
campaigns and his longtime friend. Menendez intervened on Melgen’s behalf in a
dispute with the federal regulators over Medicare charges and in a bid by
Melgen to secure a port security contract in the Dominican Republic.
