Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar is reportedly facing an imminent indictment by the US Department of Justice, as disclosed by NBC News. This development comes two years after an FBI raid on his home and office. Cuellar, a Democrat representing South Texas, has asserted his innocence regarding the unspecified charges and expressed intent to continue serving his constituents. Although details of the allegations remain unclear, prior FBI investigations have probed Cuellar’s connections with US businessmen and Azerbaijan.

Cuellar, a conservative Democrat known for his distinct stances on issues like immigration and abortion, has declared confidence in his re-election campaign this November, as the Democrats aim to regain control in the House of Representatives. Despite his controversies and the current legal uncertainties, Cuellar’s historical electoral success underscores his political resilience.

The potential indictment and its implications surround Cuellar’s bid for an 11th term, challenging his record and raising questions about his future in Congress. The US Department of Justice has not released an official indictment at this time.
