Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) has created a legal defense fund to help offset the cost of responding to allegations of misconduct, which were referred to the Senate Ethics Committee by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL). Sen. Gallego's office denies wrongdoing and says he is cooperating with the investigation. The allegations come after Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) faced similar allegations, which he denied through a lawyer.
Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) has created a legal defense fund after Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) accused him of misconduct and referred the matter to the Senate Ethics Committee , while his office denies wrongdoing and says he is cooperating with the investigation.
Sen. Gallego's team has stated that Rep. Luna has provided 'no details or evidence' of ethical misconduct and that Gallego is 'fully complying with the inquiry.
' Rep. Luna had accused Sen. Gallego of making 'multiple and uncomfortable/inappropriate advances/comments/touching, etc.' towards four women, but Sen. Gallego's office denied the claims at the time, calling them 'right-wing conspiracy theories.
' This comes after Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) faced allegations of sexual misconduct and assault, which he denied through a lawyer. Sen. Gallego had previously called Swalwell his 'best friend' and withdrew his endorsement of Swalwell's California gubernatorial campaign after the allegations surfaced.
The allegations against Swalwell were made by a former staffer and multiple other women, and more than 50 former Swalwell staffers signed a letter calling the allegations 'serious, credible, and demand accountability.
' Sen. Gallego also supported the House Ethics Committee investigation into Swalwell and argued that Swalwell was 'no longer fit' to serve in Congress. Former Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has questioned Sen. Gallego's relationship with Swalwell, citing their close ties and the fact that Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign paid $40,000 to an attorney who defended him on NewsNation
