On Dec. 3, Donald Trump announced clemency for the Democratic Congressman Henry Cuellar and his wife, Imelda. He shared a letter from their two daughters requesting the pardon on Truth Social and blasted Joe Biden for indicting the couple. But it sounds a little too hypocritical.
Henry and Imelda Cuellar were indicted in May 2024 on charges of money laundering, conspiracy, and bribery. Investigators alleged that nearly $600,000 in bribes had been funneled into Imelda’s shell companies from Azerbaijan and Mexico between 2014 and 2021. Trump, however, insists that Biden “went after” the two “simply for speaking the TRUTH.”
