FBI raids office of doctor tied to Sen. Menendez, report says
Jan 30th 2013, 05:36

The FBI late Tuesday night raided the office of a South Florida eye doctor who allegedly provided young prostitutes to Sen. Bob Menendez.

The Miami Herald reports that FBI agents removed items from Dr. Salomon Melgen's West Palm Beach, Fla., business as part of an investigation believed to be focusing on Melgen's finances and allegations about prostitutes.

Melgen, a top contributor to Menendez's federal campaigns, has an outstanding IRS lien of $11.1 million for taxes owed between 2006 to 2009, according to records obtained from the Palm Beach County recorder's office, the newspaper reported.

The Daily Caller reported in November that Menendez, D-N.J., allegedly had sexual relations with several prostitutes at Melgen's mansion in the Dominican Republic.

The senator's office has rejected the prostitution charges for months.

The FBI last week declined to comment on the release of emails appearing to show the agency communicating with an individual claiming to know about Menendez' liaisons.

A spokeswoman for Menendez told FoxNews.com that the emails were "unsubstantiated garbage."

Attempts by The Miami Herald to reach Melgen and a spokesman for Menendez for comment Tuesday were unsuccessful.
