The Senate Ethics Committee informed Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., on Friday that it had not found any evidence of illegal activity, in response to a complaint from a Republican member of the House.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., previously filed the complaint, alleging that Gallego had behaved inappropriately toward women and that he had broken campaign finance rules. The panel wrote to Gallego on Friday, notifying him that did "not find evidence" that he had broken any laws, The Hill reported.

Gallego created a legal defense fund in late May after Luna first lodged the complaint, saying he was "under attack from right-wing conspiracy theorists like Anna Paulina Luna, the Trump Administration, and their cronies." 

"The dismissal by the Ethics Committee 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," Gallego said on Monday. "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."

The panel's move became public the same day that Axios reported that Gallego faces a federal investigation over alleged campaign finance violations.
