Democratic Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego filed paperwork Tuesday to establish a legal defense fund in response to an ethics investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct.The IRS filing followed Republican Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna’s accusations of sexual misconduct against Gallego in April, which the Arizona Democrat has vehemently denied. Luna asked Senate Majority Leader John Thune to investigate the “disturbing allegations,” some of which she said were “sexual in nature” while others involved violations of campaign finance laws.
