Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I whakakahoretia e te kaikorero matua o te White House te mohio ki nga whakapae hara e kiia ana kei te whakawakia ki te kaipupuri ture o New Jersey a Bob Menendez i te Mane me te whakamahi i te korenga o te maarama hei taunakitanga mo te whakapae he ahua o te utu torangapu. 'E kore e taea e au te korero mo te tika o aua kerēme,' ka mea te kaikorero a te perehitini, a Josh Earnest, i te wa i uiuihia mo tetahi purongo purongo e kii ana kei te whakarite nga kaitohutohu a te kawanatanga ki te kawe i nga whakapae mo te pirau hara ki te seneta Democratic. A, no te mea kua pānuitia i roto i te press, pai, 'e kore e tohu o ratou he meka,' ka mea ia. Kāore au i te mōhio mēnā he tirotirohanga a Menendez. 'Mēnā he tirotirohanga ā-ture kei te haere, he mea i mahia motuhake, ā, i tua atu i ngā momo whakauru tōrangapū katoa,' i kī ia. KAUPAPA: Ka taea e Sen. Bob Menendez, he New Jersey Democrat, te anga atu ki nga whakapae hara e pa ana ki te pirau. POLITICS: (l-r) Ko Menendez, te kaiwhakawhiwhi a Salomon Melgen, te Kaihautū iti o te Whare, a Nancy Pelosi, me tana tahu a Paora, i te Hui-tanguru 2012 i te National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials gala. I pūrongotia e CNN i te Paraire e rua tau te roa o te tirotirohanga a te rōia nui, ā, i raro i te pēhanga kia whakaoti i a rātau mahi i mua i te mutunga o te ture o ngā herenga, ka whakatakoto amuamu a Menendez e pā ana ki tana hononga ki te tākuta kanohi o Florida, a Salomon Melgen, he kaituku taonga, he kaituku taonga hoki. I whakaae nga kaiawhina o te kaumatua i te 2013 i uru ia i te tau i mua atu me te rangatira o te Whare mo nga Ratonga Medicare me Medicaid mo tana hoa, e pana ana i nga whakapae mo te whakapae nui ki te punaha Medicare mo te $ 8.9 miriona. Kua utua hoki e Menendez ki a Melgen $58,500 mo te uara o nga haerenga rererangi i tangohia e ia i runga i te waka rererangi motuhake a te taote, ko te nuinga ki te whare noho rangatira o te Dominican Republic a Casa de Campo. Kua kaha te whakakahore a te kaumatua kua mahi ia i tetahi mea ture, me tetahi o ona hoa kaitiaki i roto i te Senate, Ted...
Ka whakawakia a New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, e ai ki nga purongo. Kei te tirotirohia e te rōia nui ā-rohe mēnā i whakawhitihia e ia ngā takoha tōrangapū mai i te tākuta kanohi a Salomon Melgen mō ngā painga kāwanatanga kāore i tika. E mea ana te kaikorero a Menendez ko te taote 'tetahi o ana hoa tata mo nga tau tekau' me te kii ko nga mea katoa i mahia e ia he ture. 'Kāore au e haere ki hea,' te kī a te seneta nō te Pirimia i te Paraire. I whakakahoretia e ana kaiawhina te whakaatu i mua i te kaunihera nui mo nga korerorero a to raatau rangatira me nga rangatira o te HHS me tetahi roia i whakauruhia ki te akiaki mo Melgen. Kua whakaaetia e te Kaiwhakarite Matua a Eric Holder te whakapae mo nga whakapae; engari i te Paraire i tohe ia 'Kaore e taea e au te korero mo taua mea' I kii te kaikorero matua o te White House i te Mane kaore e taea e ia te korero mo te tika o nga whakapae kei te tatari nga whakapae. "Mēnā he tirotirohanga ā-ture kei te haere, he mea kua oti kē i a ia, ā, i waho i te āhua o te āwangawanga tōrangapū" I kī a Ted Cruz, he utu tōrangapū te rangahau.
