"Only a short time after signing the Pardon, Congressman Henry Cuellar announced that he will be running for Congress again, in the Great State of Texas (a State where I received the highest number of votes ever recorded!), as a Democrat, continuing to work with the same Radical Left Scum that just weeks before wanted him and his wife to spend the rest of their lives in Prison"
"Cuellar told Bartiromo that he believed the indictment was due to his criticism of then-President Joe Biden's open border. Looking at all the evidence and looking at everything, definitely I feel that I was weaponized, you know, that they used the [Justice] department to go after my, you know, myself and my family. Cuellar irked Trump, however, when he filed for reelection as a Democrat instead of switching parties."
"Fox's Maria Bartiromo confronted newly-pardoned Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) about President Donald Trump criticizing his lack of loyalty for declaring he would run again as a Democrat. Cuellar and his wife were both indicted in 2024 on bribery charges, accused of taking nearly $600,000 from Azerbaijan and a Mexican bank in exchange for political favors. Trump issued a surprise pardon on Wednesday, preventing both from facing any jail time. The Cuellars have denied any wrongdoing."
