Great example that none of this is "fake news".

You're also doing a great job on the wiki from everything I've seen, thank you.

Actually this is false.

The Department of Justice is investigating Bob Menendez, United States Senator of New Jersey and close Hillary Clinton associate, for claims that he engaged in** illicit activities with underage girls** in the Dominican Republic.

The Justice Dept is not investigating Menedez for sex with underage girls. In fact, they investigated the allegations and closed that part of the investigation. They have charged him with corruption. That is because the child-sex allegations which first appeared a week before the 2012 election in the Daily Caller were shown to the work of his political opponents who paid escorts to lie about him. Many news organizations passed on this story because they doubted the women's credibility including ABC News, the NY Times and even the NY Post.

Woman Says She Was Paid to Lie About Claim of Sex With Senator Menendez

Allegations that Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ), the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, had sex with prostitutes in the Dominican Republic were a lie, according to a young woman who signed an affidavit saying she was paid to make the false claims in the week before last year's elections.

Last fall, Republican operatives, who insisted on anonymity, helped arrange the woman's appearance, along with two additional women, in back-to-back, on-line interviews with ABC News and a conservative news website, the Daily Caller.

...

ABC News did not broadcast or initially report on the claims because of doubts about the women's veracity and identity.

The woman, who was not present when her affidavit was revealed at a press conference by an attorney in the Dominican Republic Monday, said her performance last year was arranged by a Dominican lawyer who had her rehearse statements and promised to pay her well.

Early Tuesday the Daily Caller said the woman who said she was lying was not one of the women featured in their original report. However, the attorney who presented the affidavit Monday identified the woman to reporters in attendance as the female wearing a yellow shirt in a video on the Daily Caller website.

"I never slept with Mr. Menendez nor Mr. Melgin," the woman, Nexis de los Santos Santana, said in her sworn statement, adding she did not know the Senator or the doctor.
