The biggest scandal that nobody is talking about has nothing to do with the Donald Trump White House or the connection between the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Russia dossier. It involves New Jersey senator Bob Menendez, a Democrat, who stands accused by the federal government of bribery, fraud, conspiracy, and perjury.

Menendez is on trial in Newark federal court for what prosecutors allege was an illegal relationship with Florida ophthalmologist Salomon Melgen, who was convicted in April of wrongly billing Medicare more than $100 million.
