Republican congresswoman accuses Sen. Ruben Gallego of misconduct
Luna says the allegations are sexual in nature and that Senate leadership has opened an ethics inquiry, while Gallego denies wrongdoing.
- On Wednesday, Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna of Florida urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune to investigate "very disturbing" allegations against an unnamed senator, writing, "It's seems like the Senate has its own trash to take out."
- These demands follow the resignations of Rep. Eric Swalwell and Rep. Tony Gonzales earlier this week amid sexual misconduct allegations, with Luna having led efforts to expel members accused of misconduct.
- On Thursday, Luna identified the senator as Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego, alleging his behavior was "sexual in nature" and involved campaign finance violations, with a woman preparing to go on-record about the incidents.
- Senate Majority Leader John Thune confirmed he referred the complaint to the Senate Ethics Committee, though he said he had no knowledge of the allegations' credibility; Gallego denied the accusations as "right wing conspiracy theories."
- The referral marks a broader reckoning on Capitol Hill regarding lawmaker conduct, as the Senate Ethics Committee now reviews the complaint against the first-term Arizona Democrat amid intensifying scrutiny.
