DOJ expected to announce indictment of Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar, NBC reports

[KGNSTV] According to NBC News, the Justice Department is expected to announce the indictment of Congressman Henry Cuellar.

NBC News stated that two sources familiar with the matter informed the outlet of the expected formal charge against the Texas congressman.

This comes after Cuellar’s house and campaign officers were raided in Laredo back in January of 2022 as part of a federal investigation into Azerbaijan and a group of U.S. businessmen who have ties to the country, law enforcement said at the time.

Since the raid, Cuellar’s office and the congressman have stated that they have been fully cooperating with the investigation.

Cuellar is a one-time co-chair of the Congressional Azerbaijan Caucus.

At this time, it’s not clear if the indictment is related to the 2022 raid. The Justice Department declined to comment.

Shortly after the report came to light, Congressman Cuellar issued a statement.

#1 There’s a Congressional Caucus for Azerbaijan? If he’s co-chair that means there has to be at least one more member. If you had told me that there was such a caucus before today, I would have written it off as a fake club that kids use for the purposes of college admissions, but now we discover that the caucus is rife with corruption. Just goes to show that Congress can find some loot from anywhere.

#2 Wow, you'd think the DoJ is treating this n'er-do-well like Hunter Biden or something.

#3 Given the current state of the DoJ, you have to wonder what the Honorable Representative Cuellar did to get on somebody's bad side.

Apparently, the Congressional Azerbaijan Caucus really is a thing. Judging by the membership list, it appears to be a bi-partisan grift with an equal number of Ds and Rs.
