LOADING ERROR LOADINGPresident Donald Trump said he will issue a preemptive pardon for Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) on Wednesday, effectively voiding Cuellar’s 2024 indictment for bribery. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump announced a “full and complete PARDON of beloved Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar” and his wife, Imelda Cuellar. The indictment charged Cuellar and his wife with illegally accepting bribes and acting as unregistered foreign agents. Cuellar represents a Texas district on the border with Mexico that swung hard towards Republicans over the past three election cycles. In 2024, Trump flipped the district, winning it by seven points.
