参议院道德委员会驳回了针对亚利桑那州民主党参议员鲁本·加列戈的投诉，该投诉指控这名议员存在性行为不端和竞选财务违规行为。
此次调查由佛罗里达州共和党众议员安娜·宝琳娜·卢娜发起，她今年早些时候指控，在前加州民主党众议员埃里克·斯沃威尔——加列戈的密友——因丑闻缠身倒台后，一名在任参议员存在“令人极为不安”的指控。
但在对该事件进行近一个月的调查后，该委员会周一在给加列戈的一封信中表示，没有证据支持卢娜的说法。

“我们写信通知您，参议院道德委员会（以下简称‘委员会’）已驳回众议员安娜·宝琳娜·卢娜针对您提起的投诉，”该委员会在信中写道，“具体而言，投诉内容包括竞选财务违规以及不当的性接触行为。”
“应您的调查请求，委员会于2026年4月17日和5月15日将这些指控转交予您，并要求您提供更多信息，”信件继续写道，“基于委员会的调查结果，未发现您的行为违反联邦法律、参议院规则或相关行为标准的证据。”
加列戈在一份声明中表示，道德委员会的决定“重申了我从一开始就对这些指控的看法：它们是右翼活动人士安娜·宝琳娜·卢娜、白宫及其盟友散布的右翼阴谋论。”
加列戈参议员称，随着华盛顿特区谣言四起，他与斯沃威尔的长期友谊“影响了我的判断力”
“我期待卢娜众议员为利用道德程序、却拒绝调查让民众生活更加艰难的历史性腐败行为道歉，”加列戈说，“与此同时，我将继续为亚利桑那州民众而战，并追究特朗普共和党人推高生活成本、发动新战争的责任。”
但卢娜不太可能道歉。
这名议员在X平台上反驳称，这些指控“并非阴谋论。你是民众代表中一个令人厌恶的例子。”

“需要我提醒你吗？你在竞选参议员期间抛下怀孕的妻子？有很多人知道你的荒唐行径，”卢娜说道。
“华盛顿特区的好处在于人人都在议论，最终记者会公开你的短信，”她继续说道，“帮自己一个忙，继续为你的法律辩护基金筹款。狗改不了吃屎，你肯定用得上这笔钱。”
卢娜对加列戈的指控正值斯沃威尔辞职后不久，此前《旧金山纪事报》曝出重磅报道，指称这位前议员涉嫌性侵一名前工作人员。

加列戈迅速试图与斯沃威尔划清界限，并表示，针对这位前议员在华盛顿流传多年的谣言，他与斯沃威尔的亲密关系“影响了我的判断力”。
近期，一则政治报的报道让加列戈受到审查，报道称他动用数千竞选资金用于奢华旅行、超级碗门票和儿童保育费用。
“这不是什么新闻，”加列戈告诉该媒体，“随着育儿成本不断上涨，美国家庭的预算负担沉重，国会和白宫的两党议员都会像联邦选举委员会允许的那样，经常带着妻子和孩子出行。”

Gallego says friendship with embattled Swalwell ‘clouded his judgment’
Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., former Rep. Eric Swalwell’s “best friend” in Congress, said that their relationship “clouded his judgment” over rumors about his conduct.

The Senate Ethics Committee has dismissed a complaint against Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., that alleged the lawmaker committed sexual misconduct and campaign finance violations.
The probe was spurred by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., who earlier this year charged that there were “very disturbing” allegations against a sitting senator in the wake of the scandal-filled downfall of former-Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., a close friend of Gallego’s.
But after a nearly monthlong investigation into the matter, the committee told Gallego in a letter on Monday that there wasn’t evidence to back up Luna’s claims.

“We are writing to inform you that the Select Committee on Ethics (the Committee) dismissed a complaint filed against you by Representative Anna Paulina Luna,” the panel stated. “Specifically, the complaint alleged campaign finance violations and inappropriate conduct of a sexual nature.”
“In response to your request for an investigation, the Committee referred these allegations to you and requested additional information on April 17 and May 15, 2026,” the letter continued. “Based on the investigation of the Committee, the Committee did not find evidence that your actions violated Federal law, Senate Rules, or related standards of conduct.”
Gallego said in a statement that the Ethics Committee’s decision “reaffirms what I have said about these accusations from the beginning: they were right-wing conspiracies peddled by far-right activists like Anna Paulina Luna, the White House and their allies.”

“I look forward to an apology from Rep. Luna for weaponizing the ethics process while refusing to investigate historic corruption that’s making life harder for families,” Gallego said. “In the meantime, I will continue fighting for Arizonans and holding Trump Republicans accountable for high costs and new wars.”
But an apology from Luna is unlikely.
The lawmaker shot back on X that the allegations “are not conspiracy theories. You’re a gross example of representation.”

“Need I mention you leaving your pregnant wife during your campaign for Senate? There are plenty of people who know about your antics,” Luna said.
“The good news about D.C. is everyone talks, and eventually the reporters come forward with your texts,” she continued. “Do yourself a favor and keep raising for your legal defense fund. Once a creep, always a creep, and you’re gonna need it.”
Luna’s allegations against Gallego came shortly after Swalwell resigned from the House following a bombshell report from The San Francisco Chronicle that the ex-lawmaker allegedly sexually assaulted a former staffer.

Gallego moved to quickly put distance between himself and Swalwell and argued that his tight-knit relationship “clouded my judgment,” regarding rumors that swirled about the ex-lawmaker for years in Washington, D.C.
Gallego has recently come under scrutiny for a report from Politico that he spent thousands in campaign cash on luxury travel, Super Bowl tickets and childcare.
“This is not breaking news,” Gallego told the outlet. “With the rising costs of childcare and the burden it has on the budgets of American families, Democrats and Republicans in Congress and the White House alike regularly travel with their wives and children, as is permitted by the FEC.”
