(The Daily Signal)—President Donald Trump is pardoning Democrat Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas after the Biden administration charged him and his wife with bribery.
Trump announced on Truth Social a “full and unconditional PARDON of beloved Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar, and Imelda.”
“Henry, I don’t know you,” the president wrote, “but you can sleep well tonight—Your nightmare is finally over.”
Former President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice brought charges against Cuellar and his wife, Imelda, in May 2024 for bribery, money laundering, working on behalf of a foreign government, and conspiracy.
Cueller was one of the biggest Democrat critics of the Biden border crisis, which he described as “just letting everybody in.”
“For years, the Biden Administration weaponized the Justice System against their Political Opponents, and anyone who disagreed with them,” Trump wrote in his post announcing the pardon. “One of the clearest examples of this was when Crooked Joe used the FBI and DOJ to ‘take out’ a member of his own Party after Highly Respected Congressman Henry Cuellar bravely spoke out against Open Borders, and the Biden Border ‘Catastrophe.’
“Sleepy Joe went after the Congressman, and even the Congressman’s wonderful wife, Imelda, simply for speaking the TRUTH,” Trump continued. “It is unAmerican and, as I previously stated, the Radical Left Democrats are a complete and total threat to Democracy! They will attack, rob, lie, cheat, destroy, and decimate anyone who dares to oppose their Far Left Agenda, an Agenda that, if left unchecked, will obliterate our magnificent Country.”
