Democrat Senator and Swalwell BFF Ruben Gallego Partied All Night in Colombia Club Despite Credible Threat to His Life
April 23, 2026
Democrat Senator Ruben Gallego partied all night at a Bogotá, Colombia club despite a credible threat to his life.
Gallego is currently under review after GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna alerted Senate Majority Leader John Thune to his potential sexual misconduct after Eric Swalwell resigned from Congress.
Gallego and Swalwell were very close friends; however, the Democrat Senator distanced himself from Swalwell amid allegations of sexual assault.
Last Tuesday, after a fifth Swalwell accuser came forward at a press conference in Beverly Hills and accused the California Democrat of violently raping her at a West Hollywood hotel in 2018, Gallego threw Swalwell under the bus.
“Eric Swalwell lied to all of us. He lies to the most powerful people in this country. And they trusted him,” Gallego told reporters last week.
A reporter asked Gallego if he was in the hotel room and sitting next to Swalwell on the bed in the leaked video.
Martin Shkreli and Jack Posobiec released videos of Swalwell sitting on a bed with a sex worker. A man who resembles Gallego is briefly seen sitting on the bed.
Gallego said it wasn’t him in the video.
On Thursday, NOTUS reported that Ruben Gallego partied until 3 am at a club in Colombia during a CODEL last summer despite a credible threat to his life.
Gallego allegedly walked to the nightclub after dinner and invited at least one female staffer to come out and party with him.
The next morning, a chief of staff had to use a room key to get Gallego out of his hotel room to take him to the airport.
NOTUS reported:
While on an official trip to Bogotá last summer, Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego stayed out until the wee hours of the morning partying at a club and asked multiple embassy staffers to join him, despite warnings from the U.S. Embassy in Colombia that they had identified a credible threat to his life, four sources with knowledge of the incident told NOTUS.
Gallego and Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno were on a congressional delegation to Colombia in what Gallego’s office said was an effort to “strengthen bilateral relations, as well as discuss organized crime, the business climate, and China’s growing influence in the country.” His behavior during the trip, however, raised concerns among U.S. officials.
At the conclusion of the August trip, embassy staff received what they believed to be a credible report that there was a threat to Gallego’s life. They notified Gallego’s security detail and sent additional security to discuss the matter. The Arizona Democrat was at a dinner at the time and, after some discussion, decided to stay out, three of the sources told NOTUS. Following dinner, Gallego walked to a nightclub, a source said.
While at dinner and the club, Gallego and his chief of staff messaged employees at the embassy to come meet up with them, one U.S. official, a former U.S. official and three other sources briefed on the matter told NOTUS. At least one female embassy employee told her State Department colleagues she received a message from Gallego asking her to come out. It is unclear if any employees went out with him, and there are no allegations that Gallego engaged in inappropriate behavior with any embassy staff member.
