President Trump announces a full pardon for Texas Democrat Congressman Henry Cuellar. Cuellar was facing bribery and money laundering charges.
In Trump’s pardon, announced via Truth Social, the president said that the Democratic congressman had been punished by a weaponized Department of Justice under former president Joe Biden for speaking out against the administration’s border policy.
“Sleepy Joe went after the Congressman, and even the Congressman’s wonderful wife, Imelda, simply for speaking the TRUTH,” Trump wrote.
