Prostitute: I Was Paid to Make a False Claim About Bob Menendez

Yeah this is why you can't rely on prostitutes so much. Even here, one could object "Once the police pressured them of course they retracted their claims," and that's plausible too.

Of course, it's also always been plausible they were just paid to tell a lie.

An escort who appeared on a video claiming Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) paid her for sex has told Dominican Republic police that she was instead paid to make up the claims in a tape recording and has never met or seen the senator before, according to court documents and two people briefed on her claim.

The woman identified a lawyer who approached her and a friend to make the videotape, according to affidavits obtained by the Post. That man has in turn identified another lawyer who gave him a script for the tape and paid him to find women to fabricate the claims, the affidavits say.
