| Subject: Federal prosecutor says N.J. senator "sold his office" Thu Sep 07, 2017 3:16 am | |
| A federal prosecutor said Wednesday the case against New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez is about a corrupt politician who, "sold his office for a lifestyle he couldn't afford, and a greedy eye doctor," CBS News' Pat Milton and Erica Brown report.
Prosecutor Peter Koski methodically and meticulously laid out the U.S. government's corruption case against 63-year-old Menendez, a Democrat, who is charged with accepting bribes including lavish vacations and hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign donations from Salomon Melgen, a wealthy Florida eye doctor, in exchange for political influence and favors to advance his business interests.
"Robert Menendez was Salomon Melgen's personal U.S. senator," Koski said in a wood-paneled courtroom packed with attorneys, reporters, and supporters of Menendez including Cory Booker, the junior senator from New Jersey and a fellow Democrat.
