After a more than two-year investigation, Menendez faces charges for what prosecutors believe were improper efforts by Menendez to help Salomon Melgen, a Florida-based doctor who was also a contributor to Menendez's campaigns and his longtime friend. Menendez intervened on Melgen's behalf in a dispute with the federal regulators over Medicare charges and in a bid by Melgen to secure a port security contract in the Dominican Republic.
.
Menendez has previously stated that if we were to be indicted, he would not resign his position. There's no word yet on whether Senate Democrats will pressure him to step down from his ranking position on the Senate's Foreign Relations Committee.
.
The senator has said he has no intention of resigning and plans to stay in office during the trial phase of the case, which could last many months or years. "I'm not going anywhere," Menendez said at a March 6 news conference.
