Trump Pardons Democrat Lawmaker Charged With Bribery

President Donald Trump announced he was pardoning Democratic Party Rep. Henry Cuellar and his wife, Imelda, ahead of their trial next April.

The Texas Democrat faces a dozen charges, including bribery, money laundering and conspiracy.

But Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social on Wednesday that he was granting the conservative Democrat a “full and unconditional PARDON” as his Justice Department moved forward with the case.
