华盛顿讯 ——加列戈的办公室周一表示,参议院道德委员会已驳回共和党众议员安娜·保利娜·卢纳对民主党参议员鲁本·加列戈提出的行为失当投诉。
该跨党派委员会在周五致加列戈的信中表示,“未发现证据表明你的行为违反联邦法律、参议院规则或相关行为标准”。
卢纳于今年4月提出上述指控,称所谓的失当行为“涉及性方面”,且存在竞选财务违规问题。在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时,这位佛罗里达州共和党议员表示,“有一名女性据称将聘请律师,公开讲述两人之间发生的一起事件,据称该事件涉及性不当行为”。她补充道:“我认为,任何明知故犯花钱购买性服务的行为,都应该得到严肃处理。”
参议院道德委员会表示,此前否认存在任何不当行为的加列戈在整个调查过程中“全力配合”。该委员会称,其审查了投诉中提及的个人证词、联邦选举委员会报告、参众两院开支报告及其他相关信息。
“一如既往,若委员会掌握新的事实依据,仍有权重新审议此事。”委员会补充道。
这位亚利桑那州民主党议员要求卢纳道歉,并表示此次驳回投诉“再次证实了我从一开始就对这些指控的看法:它们是极右翼活动人士散布的右翼阴谋论”。
卢纳提出上述指控之际,正值多名女性指控前民主党众议员埃里克·斯沃韦尔存在性行为失当行为,斯沃韦尔与加列戈关系密切。斯沃韦尔于今年4月辞去国会职务,并退出了加州州长竞选。加列戈表示自己对所谓的不当行为毫不知情,称自己被斯沃韦尔“操纵”并“欺骗”。

Washington — The Senate Ethics Committee informed Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego that it dismissed a complaint against him in which GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna accused him of misconduct, Gallego’s office said Monday.
In a letter to Gallego on Friday, the bipartisan committee said it “did not find evidence that your actions violated federal law, Senate rules or related standards of conduct.”
Luna made the allegations in April, saying the alleged misconduct was “sexual in nature” and involved campaign finance violations. In an interview with CBS News, the Florida Republican said “there is a woman that allegedly is coming forward with attorneys [and] wants to go on-record about an incident that occurred between the two of them at the same time, and the event was sexual in nature, allegedly.” She added, “I think any time that you are knowingly engaging in purchasing someone for sex, that that is something that should be taken seriously.”
The Senate Ethics Committee said Gallego, who denied any wrongdoing, provided “full cooperation” throughout its investigation. The panel said it considered statements offered by individuals identified in the complaint, Federal Election Commission reports, House and Senate expenditure reports and other information.
“As always, the Committee retains the authority to revisit this matter should additional facts become known to the Committee,” the committee added.
The Arizona Democrat called for an apology from Luna and said the dismissal “reaffirms what I have said about these accusations from the beginning: they were right-wing conspiracies peddled by far-right activists.”
Luna made the allegations as several women accused former Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell, who was close with Gallego, of sexual misconduct. Swalwell resigned from Congress in April and ended his bid for California governor. Gallego denied any knowledge of the alleged misconduct and said he was “manipulated” and “lied to” by Swalwell.
