WASHINGTON (AP) -- A spokesman for a Minnesota senator says the lawmaker will return campaign contributions she received from indicted New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez.

A campaign aide to Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar (KLOH'-buh-shar). The aide says Klobuchar will also return contributions from a Menendez friend and donor, Dr. Salomon Melgen, who was also indicted Wednesday.

Menendez is accused of performing political favors for Melgen.

Klobuchar matches the description of a lawmaker called "Senator 1" in the indictment.
