Ruben Gallego accusing him of campaign finance violations and sexual misconduct, according to a letter released by the Arizona Democrat’s office Monday.\n\nThe letter noted that the ethics panel “did not find evidence” that Gallego’s actions violated any law, Senate rules or standards of conduct for members of Congress. The note was signed by all six committee members — three Republicans and three Democrats.\n\nThe committee took statements from individuals, combed through federal campaign finance filings and examined congressional financial disclosures as part of its investigation.\n\nMembers of the committee thanked Gallego for his “prompt contact” with ethics investigators “following media reports of the allegations” and “appreciated” his “full cooperation.”\n\nRep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) referred the Arizona senator to the Ethics Committee following a series of sexual assault and misconduct accusations against Gallego’s former “best friend” in Congress, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.).\n\nThe allegations caused Swalwell to bow out of the 2026 California gubernatorial contest and resign from Congress this past April.\n\n“I want to be clear: I had no knowledge of the allegations of assault, harassment, and predatory behavior against Eric Swalwell,” Gallego said in response.\n\nFederal Election Commission filings showed that Gallego and Swalwell used money from a joint campaign account to pay for a trip to Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Ariz., Politico reported earlier this month.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/senate-ethics-committee-dismisses-complaint-against-democrat-ruben-gallego-by", "canonical_source": "https://nypost.com/2026/06/29/us-news/senate-ethics-committee-dismisses-complaint-against-democrat-ruben-gallego-by-gop-rep-anna-paulina-luna/", "published_at": "2026-06-29 17:44:57+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-29 17:57:08.874334+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-policy"], "entities": ["Ruben Gallego", "Anna Paulina Luna", "Senate Ethics Committee", "Eric Swalwell", "Arizona", "Florida", "California", "Politico"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/senate-ethics-committee-dismisses-complaint-against-democrat-ruben-gallego-by", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/senate-ethics-committee-dismisses-complaint-against-democrat-ruben-gallego-by.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/senate-ethics-committee-dismisses-complaint-against-democrat-ruben-gallego-by.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/senate-ethics-committee-dismisses-complaint-against-democrat-ruben-gallego-by.jsonld"}}
