President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he was granting full pardons to Texas Representative Henry Cuellar and his wife, Imelda, absolving them of the bribery and conspiracy charges on which they had been indicted by the Department of Justice last year.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed that Cuellar, a Democrat who has represented the Lone Star State’s 28th Congressional district since 2005, had been targeted by predecessor Joe Biden’s administration because of his hawkish stance on immigration issues.
