Democratic U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas is denying any wrongdoing amid reports of pending indictments related to business dealings with the former Soviet republic of Azerbaijan
Democratic U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas denied any wrongdoing amid reports of pending indictments related to the former Soviet republic of Azerbaijan. The longtime congressman released a statement Friday saying he and his wife “are innocent of these allegations.” “Everything I have done in Congress has been to serve the people of South Texas,” Cuellar said.
NBC News, CNN and Fox News, all citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter, reported Friday the Justice Department was expected to announce Cuellar's indictment. Cuellar was at one time the co-chair of the Congressional Azerbaijan Caucus. The FBI searched the congressman’s house in the border city of Laredo in 2022, and Cuellar’s attorney at that time said Cuellar was not the target of that investigation.
