WASHINGTON — At the request of prosecutors, a federal judge appeared ready to dismiss two of the 14 charges alleging Rep. Henry Cuellar and his wife accepted $600,000 in bribes from Azerbaijan and a Mexican bank in a Thursday hearing.
While the Laredo Democrat and his wife still face bribery charges stemming from a 2024 indictment, the judge dismissed two charges that Cuellar and his wife were acting as agents of a foreign entity.
