Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas was elected to the House in 2005 and represents the state's 28th Congressional District.
Washington — Federal prosecutors are expected to announce an indictment against Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas on Friday, a U.S. official confirmed to CBS News. Details of the indictment, including how many charges Cueller faces and the nature of the allegations, were not immediately available. NBC News first reported the anticipated indictment. Cuellar indicated in a statement that he and his wife were charged, and he said they are innocent of the accusations.
The FBI conducted a 'court-authorized' search of the congressman's home in Laredo and campaign office in January 2022, though Cuellar's lawyer told CBS News at the time that the congressman was not the target of a federal investigation. A source familiar with the probe said then that the activity at Cuellar's house was part of an investigation related to Azerbaijan and several U.S. businessmen.
