亚利桑那州联邦参议员鲁本·加列戈的一位发言人周一表示，唐纳德·特朗普总统正通过一项针对其竞选资金的司法部调查“针对”这位民主党议员。
在回应Axios关于此次调查的报道时，这位发言人指责司法部被“武器化”，并称本届政府实际上正试图压制那些批评它的人。
“特朗普正在针对加列戈参议员，而这个史上被武器化程度最高的司法部却对特朗普前所未有的腐败视而不见——这种腐败正在抬高美国家庭的生活成本，反而将矛头指向任何阻碍他们的人——比如美联储、履行监督职责的国会议员，现在还有加列戈参议员，”这位发言人在一份声明中说道。
该发言人表示，除了Axios的报道外，加列戈的办公室没有独立消息源了解这项司法部调查的情况，也不清楚调查旨在揭露什么。Axios报道称，此次调查源于南加州的一起“举报人投诉”。
司法部未立即回应置评请求。
加列戈的发言人还表示：“就在参议院道德委员会于几周前驳回了本届政府推动的针对加列戈参议员的右翼抹黑指控后，这则消息出炉，这一点都不令人意外。”
周一早些时候，加列戈的办公室公布了参议院道德委员会的一封信件，显示该委员会已了结共和党联邦众议员安娜·波琳娜·卢纳对他提起的投诉。这项指控曾称加列戈存在“竞选资金违规行为以及不恰当的性接触行为”，将与联邦执法部门的调查各自独立。
“根据委员会的调查结果，委员会未发现证据表明你的行为违反了联邦法律、参议院规则或相关行为准则，”信件中写道。

A spokesperson for Sen. Ruben Gallego said Monday that President Donald Trump is “targeting” the Arizona Democrat with a Justice Department investigation into his campaign finances.
Reacting to a report of the inquiry in Axios, the spokesperson accused the Justice Department of having been “weaponized” and said the administration was effectively trying to quiet those who criticize it.
“Trump is targeting Senator Gallego while the most weaponized Department of Justice in history is turning a blind eye to Trump’s unprecedented corruption that’s raising costs for families, and instead targeting anyone who gets in their way — like the Federal Reserve, members of Congress doing their oversight duty, and now Senator Gallego,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
The spokesperson said Gallego’s office did not have independent knowledge, outside of the Axios report, into the DOJ investigation or what it was seeking to uncover. Axios reported that the investigation stemmed from a “whistleblower complaint” out of Southern California.
The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“It’s the least surprising news of the week that this comes immediately after the Senate Ethics Committee cleared Senator Gallego of rightwing smears pushed by the administration weeks ago,” the Gallego spokeperson said.

Earlier Monday, Gallego’s office released a letter from the Senate Ethics Committee revealing the panel closed a complaint filed against him by Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. The inquiry, which alleged “campaign finance violations and inappropriate conduct of a sexual nature,” would be separate from an investigation by federal law enforcement.
“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,” the letter said.
