The FBI has opened an investigation into whether Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) solicited prostitutes in the Dominican Republican, the Washington Post reported Friday, citing two anonymous sources:

One person said agents have asked about whether a Florida eye doctor — a close friend and major campaign donor to Menendez — provided the senator with prostitutes on vacations there. Another person said investigators are looking into allegations involving underage prostitutes and sex parties.

According to the Post, the FBI has found no evidence that Menendez solicited prostitutes. Menendez has repeatedly denied the prostitution allegations.
