Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar thanked President Donald Trump for pardoning him of federal conspiracy and bribery charges on Wednesday, saying he showed "tremendous leadership" with his decision and took "the time to look at the facts."
"I thank God for standing with my family and I during this difficult time. This decision clears the air and lets us move forward for South Texas. This pardon gives us a clean slate. The noise is gone. The work remains. And I intend to meet it head on. Thank you Mr. President, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America," Cuellar said in a social media publication.
