Gallego hit with DOJ investigation for campaign finance violations

Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) is under federal investigation for suspected campaign finance violations.

News of the federal investigation came the same day the Senate Ethics Committee closed its own investigation into allegations of campaign finance violations. A source familiar with the investigation confirmed the inquiry to the Washington Examiner. Axios reported that the investigation stems from a “whistleblower complaint” out of Southern California, citing a source familiar with the situation.
