The Department of Justice is set to indict Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas, according to sources familiar with the investigation. The details of the indictment have not been disclosed yet but are expected to be revealed on Friday.
In 2022, federal law enforcement conducted raids on Cuellar's residence and office as part of an investigation into a group of U.S. businessmen and their connections to Azerbaijan. Cuellar and his office have agreed to cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
Following reports of the impending indictment, Cuellar released a statement asserting his and his wife's innocence. He emphasized that their actions have always been in service to the people of Texas. Cuellar defended his wife's qualifications, highlighting her career in banking, tax, and consulting.
Cuellar, who previously served as a co-chair of the Congressional Azerbaijan Caucus, did not specify the charges he is facing. The representative's statement aimed to refute any allegations against him and his wife, emphasizing their commitment to upholding integrity and hard work.
