Moderate South Texas Democrat Rep. Henry Cuellar revealed his feelings about his pardon by President Donald Trump<\/a> and addressed whether he will be switching political \u00a0parties.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Fox News Digital, Cuellar said, “I\u2019m certainly very thankful to the president, thankful to the president, and also very thankful to God. It was a very difficult time for my family, my daughters, my wife, a very difficult time, but we came through this.”<\/p>\n

Asked whether he agrees with Trump that he was targeted by the Biden administration<\/a>, Cuellar said, “Absolutely, absolutely.”<\/p>\n

“We looked up how many times I got on national TV and national media; it was over 150 times. I was very critical of the Biden administration,” he said. “I tried very hard to get them to understand the border. I live there, they just wouldn\u2019t take it, and after that I started criticizing them.”<\/p>\n

“The timing of this was very suspect, 40 days before an election, if you recall, I was having that primary race where they spent 20 million dollars against me and more things that we\u2019re going to talk about that makes it very, very suspect. And remember, I had a legal opinion by a law firm, I had two ethics opinions on this, and they went ahead and moved forward on this.”<\/p>\n

Cuellar said that amid the investigation, the Trump team called him up and asked, “What\u2019s going on?”<\/p>\n

On the question of whether he will be switching parties after the pardon, Cuellar said, “Nothing has changed. I\u2019m a conservative blue dog, I will work with the president like I have done with him on the things that we can agree on, we can agree on a lot of things.”<\/p>\n

“But as a very conservative Democrat, I\u2019m good here,” he went on, adding, “But I\u2019m very bipartisan. I certainly want to work with the administration. In fact, some of his folks have reached out to me about working on some things together, and we\u2019re going to work together.”<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re going to continue to focus on work, and we\u2019re ready to move forward on work, but again I certainly want to thank the president for this pardon,” he told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Trump announced a “full and unconditional pardon<\/a>” for Cuellar and his wife, Imelda, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

TRUMP SAYS HE WILL CONSIDER PARDON FOR NYC MAYOR ERIC ADAMS, SAYS HE WAS TARGETED FOR ILLEGAL MIGRANT STANCE\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Department of Justice<\/a> under the Biden administration had 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 news release at the time.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

The move came after he began speaking out against former President Joe Biden<\/a>\u2019s lax border policies.<\/p>\n

In his statement announcing the pardon, Trump wrote, “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”<\/p>\n

“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,” Trump continued. “Because of these facts, and others, I am hereby announcing my full and unconditional PARDON of beloved Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar, and Imelda. Henry, I don\u2019t know you, but you can sleep well tonight \u2014 Your nightmare is finally over!”<\/p>\n

TRUMP DOUBLES DOWN ON VOIDING BIDEN AUTOPEN ACTIONS, INCLUDING PARDONS AND COMMUTATIONS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

In January 2024, Cuellar warned fellow Democrats, including President Biden, to prepare for border security<\/u><\/a> to be a top election issue in the 2024 cycle.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Biden, he said, “It\u2019s in the president\u2019s best interest politically to come up with a solution<\/u><\/a> on border security.”<\/p>\n

In a statement following the pardon, Cuellar said, “I want to thank President Trump for his tremendous leadership and for taking the time to look at the facts.”<\/p>\n

“I thank God for standing with my family and I during this difficult time. This decision clears the air and lets us move forward for South Texas,” he added. “This pardon gives us a clean slate. The noise is gone. The work remains. And I intend to meet it head on. Thank you Mr. President, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
