Donald Trump indicated he regretted his decision to pardon a Democratic congressman, Henry Cuellar, after Cuellar’s announcement this past week that he would seek re-election.
Since his election in 2004, Cuellar has long been one of his party’s most conservative members. In May of 2024, he was indicted on charges of bribery and money laundering and accused of taking roughly $600,000 in total from two banks in Mexico and Azerbaijan.
