Trump announces pardon for indicted Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar

President Donald Trump announced he would pardon Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar, who was indicted on bribery and money laundering charges, claiming the charges were politically motivated. Cuellar, who was surprised by the pardon, thanked Trump and plans to attend a White House event to thank the president personally. The indictment accused Cuellar and his wife of accepting bribes from foreign entities, but Cuellar maintains his innocence. The pardon is part of a series of high-profile clemency actions by Trump.
