New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez personally intervened to arrange U.S. visas for a Dominican model, a Brazilian student and a Ukrainian actress — girlfriends of a wealthy Florida doctor who plied the senator with nearly $1 million in gifts and campaign contributions, according to a Justice Department indictment released Wednesday.
Menendez’s efforts to facilitate the romantic life of his patron, Dr. Salomon Melgen, a Florida ophthalmologist and businessman, are among the most tantalizing details in a 68-page indictment that alleges a brazen cash-for-favors scheme that went on for years.
When one of Melgen’s girlfriends, the Dominican model, and her sister were both denied tourist visas by the U.S. embassy in that country — after a consular official noted, among other factors, their young age (18 and 22 years old) and lack of any visible means of support — Menendez didn’t take no for an answer.
“Call Ambassador asap,” he instructed a staffer who had been assigned to work the case. Melgen’s friend, described in the indictment as “Girlfriend 2,” and her sister then got their visas, prompting the staffer to email a colleague: “In my view, this is only due to the fact that RM [Robert Menendez] intervened. I’ve told RM.”
