Robert Menendez, D-N.J., listens during the committee's markup hearing on energy legislation on Capitol Hill in Washington. In the summer of 2009 Menendez wrote to FED Chairman Ben Bernanke seeking help for a home state bank, First BankAmericano, operated by campaign contributors, and asked for approval of an acquisition that would have rescued the institution.
