Two political consultants pleaded guilty to charges that they conspired with Texas Representative Henry Cuéllar to launder hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes from a Mexican bank, The Texas Tribune reported on Thursday. They now are cooperating with the Department of Justice in the case against the powerful Democrat.
Cuéllar was formally accused last week of taking roughly $600,000 in bribes both from the government of Azerbaijan and Mexico's Banco Azteca.
