\n Reacting to a report of the inquiry in Axios, the spokesperson accused the Justice Department of having been \u201cweaponized\u201d and said the administration was effectively trying to quiet those who criticize it.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cTrump is targeting Senator Gallego while the most weaponized Department of Justice in history is turning a blind eye to Trump\u2019s unprecedented corruption that\u2019s raising costs for families, and instead targeting anyone who gets in their way \u2014 like the Federal Reserve, members of Congress doing their oversight duty, and now Senator Gallego,\u201d the spokesperson said in a statement.\n <\/p>\n

\n The spokesperson said Gallego\u2019s office did not have independent knowledge, outside of the Axios report, into the DOJ investigation or what it was seeking to uncover. Axios reported that the investigation stemmed from a \u201cwhistleblower complaint\u201d out of Southern California.\n <\/p>

\n The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt\u2019s the least surprising news of the week that this comes immediately after the Senate Ethics Committee cleared Senator Gallego of rightwing smears pushed by the administration weeks ago,\u201d the Gallego spokeperson said.\n <\/p>\n

\n Earlier Monday, Gallego\u2019s office released a letter from the Senate Ethics Committee revealing the panel closed a complaint filed against him by Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. The inquiry, which alleged \u201ccampaign finance violations and inappropriate conduct of a sexual nature,\u201d would be separate from an investigation by federal law enforcement.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cBased on the investigation of the Committee, the Committee did not find evidence that your actions violated Federal law, Senate Rules, or related standards of conduct,\u201d the letter said.\n <\/p>
