Who Framed Senator Bob Menendez?
The Washington Post is reporting that one of the alleged escorts who accused New Jersey Democrat Robert Menendez of having paid her for sex has told Dominican Republic police that she was indeed paid—not for sex but to fabricate the story.
According to an affidavit executed by the woman and acquired by the Post, the woman—and her colleague—were approached by an unnamed attorney who offered a sum of money to read a prepared script containing allegations that the two had provided sexual favors to the New Jersey Senator while he was vacationing in the Dominican Republic. Unbeknownst to the women, the reading was then captured on videotape.
The affidavit also confirms that the accuser has never so much as met Senator Menendez.
Menendez has been steadfast in his denial that the alleged incidents ever took place, saying—
“It’s amazing to me that anonymous, nameless, faceless individuals on a Web site can drive that type of story into the mainstream, but that’s what they’ve done successfully. Now, nobody can find them. No one ever met them. No one ever talked to them, but that’s where we’re at. So the bottom line is all of those smears are absolutely false and, you know, that’s the bottom line.”
