Feds Put Gallego Under the Microscope, Investigate

Arizona Democrat Sen. Ruben Gallego’s identify has a behavior of popping up when the subject of scandals in Congress arises. 

After all, he was best buds with disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-14), who resigned in April amidst inappropriate assault allegations, reportedly served divorce papers on his first spouse while she was 9 months pregnant, allegedly had inappropriate relationships with two House staffers, was accused by GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13) of inappropriately harassing girls, and was the subject of a Senate ethics probe in June over suspected misuse of marketing campaign funds.

The Senate Ethics Committee concluded that there was not enough evidence to show that he used those funds to fund a lavish lifestyle, and Mr. Gallego may need thought the matter was in the rearview mirror.

He would have been improper, because Politico revealed Saturday that the Department of Justice subpoenaed his political motion committee in August and desires to know why it apparently paid for the Gallego household’s Disneyland journeys among all kinds of other extremely questionable bills:

The Justice Department issued a federal grand jury subpoena — the existence of which has not been beforehand reported — on Aug. 21 to Gallego’s Juntos PAC. It calls for that the PAC produce data associated to “activities on or about” Sept. 9, 2025, as properly as information and statements Gallego submitted to the Senate Ethics Committee associated to its probe into allegations of misuse of marketing campaign funds, which the panel dismissed in June.

Notably, Gallego may probably face felony expenses over the matter:

The subpoena says it relates to an “ongoing criminal investigation” and that the requested information might be turned over to a grand jury. Its deadline was Sept. 4.

The subpoena got here from the United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California, which is led by First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli.

The investigation was launched after a whistleblower claimed Gallego used marketing campaign money as “his personal slush fund” and lived the vida loca off donations. Must have been good while it lasted:

[The expenses…] included journeys to St. Barts, Miami, Chicago, Disneyland and Disney World with his household, more than $18,000 in reimbursements for baby care, and Super Bowl tickets with the disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.).

Federal Election Commission information show that Juntos PAC made more than 20 disbursements on Sept. 9, 2025, masking expenses related with a journey to Disneyland in Anaheim, California. That contains two expenses to Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel of $891.87 and $128.73, and more than a dozen expenses for meals which vary in price from $6.50 to $186.24.

In a assertion, a Gallego spokesman said the senator’s PAC had equipped the data demanded by the subpoena “because it has nothing to hide.” The DOJ will see about that.
