Democratic Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego filed paperwork Tuesday to establish a legal defense fund in response to an ethics investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct.<\/p>\n

The IRS filing followed Republican Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna\u2019s accusations of sexual misconduct against Gallego in April, which the Arizona Democrat has denied. Luna asked Senate Majority Leader John Thune to investigate the \u201cdisturbing allegations,\u201d some of which she said were \u201csexual in nature\u201d while others involved violations of campaign finance laws.<\/p>\n

Thune previously confirmed to reporters that the accusations are under investigation by the Senate Select Committee on Ethics, according to News Of The United States (NOTUS).<\/p>\n

Gallego\u2019s office said he set up the fund because the senator is \u201cunder attack from right-wing conspiracy theorists like Anna Paulina Luna, the Trump Administration, and their cronies,\u201d according to Just the News.

Luna said in April that a woman and her attorneys wanted to go on-the-record about an alleged incident that occurred between her and Gallego. The senator stated that he had never engaged in any sexual misconduct or any other inappropriate behavior with women.<\/p>\n

Gallego came under scrutiny when former Democratic California Rep. Eric Swalwell resigned from Congress over allegations of sexual assault and harassment. Several women accused Swalwell of sexual misconduct, including a former staff member who alleged he initiated intimate contact when she was incapable of giving consent.<\/p>\n

Following the resignation, Gallego claimed that Swalwell \u201clied\u201d to him about his personal past. Gallego served as chairman for Swalwell\u2019s failed 2020 presidential bid and has repeatedly been described as Swalwell\u2019s \u201cbest friend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gallego\u2019s office and the Senate Select Committee on Ethics did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n
