"GOP Rep. Luna accuses Sen. Ruben Gallego of misconduct; Gallego calls allegations "conspiracy theories"
April 16, 2026 / 8:13 PM EDT / CBS News
Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida accused Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego of misconduct on Thursday, which Gallego denied.
Luna told CBS News' "The Takeout with Major Garrett" that the Arizona Democrat was the previously unnamed senator whom she said was facing "very disturbing" allegations in a cryptic social media post earlier this week.
A Gallego spokesperson told CBS News on Thursday: "These are right wing conspiracy theories being parroted by a fringe far right member of Congress. Senator Gallego has not received notification or been contacted by the ethics committee."
CBS News has not verified the allegations.
Luna did not give much detail about the allegations, but she said some of them are "sexual in nature" and some of them involve alleged campaign finance violations. She also said Senate Majority Leader John Thune's office confirmed to her that the matter is under investigation."
