The entire mainstream media bought repeated denials from Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) of allegations that he solicited underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic, but now the Department of Justice says the allegations are in fact “corroborated.”

Lawyer Abbe Lowell and the rest of Menendez’s defense team claim that FBI agent Gregory Sheehy’s statement to the grand jury that the August 2012 meeting was “all about Dr. Melgen” was untrue and that it “directly contradicted what the officials had told the FBI.”

When the smiling ophthalmologist, accompanied by his wife and daughter, walked free, it was the first time he has been out of jail since his arrest April 14 on federal charges of Medicare fraud. Federal prosecutors claim Melgen cheated taxpayers out of $105 million in Medicare reimbursements he received between 2007 and 2014. He faces unrelated charges alongside Sen. Robert Menendez in New Jersey.

Dr. Salomon Melgen, the controversial Florida opthalmologist who has been indicted along with his friend Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) on public corruption charges, remains in a Florida jail. A federal judge wants to know more about Melgen’s finances before he considers setting bail.

The federal government argues that Menendez should be tried by his New Jersey constituents and peers. “Robert Menendez, a United States Senator elected to represent the people of New Jersey, has filed a motion seeking to avoid being tried by a jury of his peers in the State of New Jersey. The Court should not permit this,” the brief notes.

Lawyers for Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) filed a motion in a Newark federal courtroom this week asking for a change of venue in his public corruption trial. Menendez wants the trial to be held in Washington, D.C., not New Jersey, where the indictment was filed on April 1. Attorneys for his co-defendant, Florida opthalmologist Dr. Salomon Melgen, joined in the request.

Facing a possible lifetime sentence on the Medicare fraud charges, and an equally lengthy sentence in the public corruption charges, Melgen may reconsider how strong those ties of friendship with Sen. Bob Menendez are. Menendez, who is free on bond and continues to conduct his duties as a Senator in Washington, is facing only one trial. Dr. Melgen, in contrast, faces two trials and may not see the outside of a jail cell for a very long time.

For the fun loving Dr. Melgen, a well known international jet setter who “suffers from attention deficit disorder and takes sleep medication,” three weeks and counting in a Florida jail is bound to take a toll.

Senator Robert Menendez and Dr. Salomon Melgen are under indictment on federal corruption charges. But a third key player, the man who actually organized a controversial 2012 meeting, is Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV). He’s being protected by a selective Department of Justice, a stonewalling Capitol Police, and a compliant and incurious mainstream media and remains unindicted. He’s even threatening to hijack the United States Senate and force a vote on the controversial Attorney General nomination of Loretta Lynch.

A federal indictment shows Dr. Salomon Melgen contributed an unearmarked $100,000 to the Senate Majority PAC a mere two weeks before Sen. Harry Reid arranged an August 2, 2012 meeting among himself, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, and Menendez. What, if anything was the doctor trying to buy with the donation?

“I think Harry Reid’s getting out of town ahead of the posse,” former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova tells Breitbart News. The Senate Minority Leader says he’ll retire in 2017, at the conclusion of his current term.

Dr. Salomon Melgen’s friendships with and campaign contributions to two powerful senators helped get his case before the Secretary of HHS, but didn’t help him escape a nearly $9 million charge for overbilling Medicare, a Breitbart News investigation reveals. And Melgen may face new charges of overbilling by millions more.

Breitbart News asked Peter M. Koski, the Department of Justice attorney leading the investigation into Sen. Robert Menendez, how Sen. Harry Reid’s conduct differs from Menendez’s and why Reid himself is not under federal investigation on similar charges of corruption. We have not received a response.
