Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., who resigned in April amid accusations of misconduct.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., previously posted on X about an unidentified senator with claims of \u201cinappropriate advances\u201d against them, later specifying in a CBS News interview that she was referring to Gallego. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have now heard of 4 women who have had multiple and uncomfortable\/inappropriate advances\/comments\/touching, etc. from Senator Gallego. This is not made up and the Senate is being awfully quiet about it,\u201d Luna wrote on X in April.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gallego denied any wrongdoing and asked the Senate Ethics Committee to investigate him. He also denied prior knowledge of misconduct by Swalwell, a close friend of his for many years.

Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, who both resigned amid widespread calls for their ouster from Congress. While mostly limited to the House, members and staff on both sides of the aisle have pushed for changes to how Congress addresses sexual misconduct. They have also questioned the speed and transparency of the congressional ethics process, complaining that the highly secretive House and Senate Ethics panels move too slowly.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/americanindustryreview.com\/?p=434\">Trump-backed Julia Letlow wins GOP Senate runoff in Louisiana<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Senate Ethics Committee has dismissed a complaint against Sen.
