The United States — United States Department of Justice has launched an investigation into Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego of Arizona for alleged campaign finance violations, focusing on his use of campaign funds since 2019 for family trips and Super Bowl tickets. The probe was initiated by a whistleblower complaint in Southern California. Ruben Gallego has denied any wrongdoing, and his spokesman claims the investigation is politically motivated, citing a recent dismissal of an unrelated complaint against him by the United States — United States Senate Select Committee on Ethics. The investigation also touches upon a political action committee Ruben Gallego co-organized with former Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell.
