Two Dominican women are claiming that Democratic New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez paid them for sex earlier this year, it was reported early today.
Menendez, 58 — who’s up for re-election on Tuesday — agreed to pay each woman $500 for sex acts at a posh resort in the Dominican Republic — but they only got $100 each, according to the right-leaning Web site Daily Caller.
The women claimed Menendez, who is divorced, met them at resort Casa de Campo — owned by one of his senatorial campaign donors, Salomon Melgen — where he was “nice at first, but then later he did not seem to care.”
“He lies,” one of the women told the Caller through a translator.
Menendez spokeswoman Tricia Enright told the Caller that it’s a “completely false accusation.”
Prostitution is legal in the Dominican Republic.
In April, Menendez called for the firing of the six US Secret Service agents involved in a prostitution scandal in Colombia, saying, “If the facts are true, they all should be fired.
“The reality is that the Secret Service not only protects the president of the United States, they represent the United States of America,” he said then, according to a Washington Times video.
