Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, and his wife, Imelda.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For years, the Biden Administration weaponized the Justice System against their Political Opponents, and anyone who disagreed with them. One of the clearest examples of this was when Crooked Joe used the FBI and DOJ to \u2018take out\u2019 a member of his own Party after Highly Respected Congressman Henry Cuellar bravely spoke out against Open Borders, and the Biden Border \u2018Catastrophe,\u2019&#8221; Trump wrote on Truth Social.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sleepy Joe went after the Congressman, and even the Congressman\u2019s wonderful wife, Imelda, simply for speaking the TRUTH. It is unAmerican and, as I previously stated, the Radical Left Democrats are a complete and total threat to Democracy! They will attack, rob, lie, cheat, destroy, and decimate anyone who dares to oppose their Far Left Agenda, an Agenda that, if left unchecked, will obliterate our magnificent Country,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;Because of these facts, and others, I am hereby announcing my full and unconditional PARDON of beloved Texas Congressman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/indicted-house-democrat-under-fire-being-dccc-list-sleazy-politician\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Henry Cuellar,<\/a> and Imelda. Henry, I don\u2019t know you, but you can sleep well tonight \u2014 Your nightmare is finally over!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In January 2024, Cuellar warned fellow Democrats, including President Biden, to prepare for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/immigration\/border-security\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>border security<\/u><\/a> to be a top election issue in the 2024 cycle.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/democrat-cuellar-warns-biden-border-crisis-absolutely-election-issue-2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>DEMOCRAT CUELLAR WARNS BIDEN: BORDER CRISIS WILL \u2018ABSOLUTELY\u2019 BE ELECTION ISSUE IN 2024<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If they&#8217;re looking at the same polls I&#8217;ve been looking at, the American public doesn&#8217;t like what&#8217;s happening,&#8221; Cuellar said of fellow Democrats in an interview with Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I represent an area where it&#8217;s almost 80% Hispanic, a lot of Democrats,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So, yeah, the polls are showing that it&#8217;s an important issue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/video\/6337753434112\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>FLASHBACK: WE \u2018NEED TO HAVE REPERCUSSIONS AT THE BORDER,\u2019 CUELLAR SAYS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Biden, he said, &#8220;It\u2019s in the president\u2019s best interest politically to come up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/video\/6345383664112\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>with a solution<\/u><\/a> on border security.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Justice under the Biden administration then indicted Cuellar and his wife in May 2024 for allegedly taking roughly $600,000 in bribes from an Azerbaijan-owned energy company and a Mexican bank, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/archives\/opa\/pr\/us-congressman-henry-cuellar-and-his-wife-charged-bribery-unlawful-foreign-influence-and\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">news release at the time.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The bribe payments were allegedly laundered, pursuant to sham consulting contracts, through a series of front companies and middlemen into shell companies owned by Imelda Cuellar, who performed little to no legitimate work under the contracts,&#8221; the Justice Department said. &#8220;In exchange for the bribes paid by the Azerbaijani oil and gas company, Congressman Cuellar allegedly agreed to use his office to influence U.S. foreign policy in favor of Azerbaijan. In exchange for the bribes paid by the Mexican bank, Congressman Cuellar allegedly agreed to influence legislative activity and to advise and pressure high-ranking U.S. Executive Branch officials regarding measures beneficial to the bank.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In Trump&#8217;s post on Wednesday, he shared a letter to him apparently written by Cuellar&#8217;s daughters, titled, &#8220;Request for Compassion and Clemency for our Parents, Henry and Imelda Cuellar.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our parents are good, decent people who have spent their lives giving more than they\u2019ve taken. They have loved this country deeply, served their neighbors without hesitation, and raised us to believe that kindness, faith, and hard work are the true measures of a meaningful life,&#8221; the letter said. &#8220;Now, in the later years of their lives, all we want as their daughters is time \u2014 time to be with them, to share laughter and family dinners, and to see them live without the weight of worry. We hope they can one day retire peacefully and focus on family, faith, and the simple joys they have earned through a lifetime of service. All we want now is for our family to heal, to breathe freely again, and to see our parents\u2019 good names restored.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With all our hearts, we humbly ask that you show mercy and compassion to our parents \u2014 either by dismissing this case or granting a full and unconditional pardon,&#8221; the letter also said. &#8220;We speak not only as their children but also as Americans who believe in the goodness of this country and in your ability to see the human side of every story.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i>Fox News&#8217; Elizabeth Elkind and Cameron Arcand contributed to this report.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/trump-announces-pardon-democratic-rep-henry-cuellar\">Source &#8211; https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/trump-announces-pardon-democratic-rep-henry-cuellar <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump announced a &#8220;full and unconditional pardon&#8221; Wednesday for Rep.
