In an surprise move, President Donald Trump has announced that he is pardoning Henry Cuellar, a Democratic congressman from Texas indicted last year on federal corruption charges. In a TruthSocial post , Trump repeated his typical refrain that the federal government under President Joe Biden “weaponized the Justice System,” then accused Biden of trying to “take out” the “highly respected congressman” after he “bravely spoke out” against Biden’s border policies.
“Sleepy Joe went after the Congressman, and even the Congressman’s wonderful wife, Imelda, simply for speaking the TRUTH,” Trump wrote, before announcing that he was granting Cuellar and his wife “my full and unconditional PARDON.”
“Henry, I don’t know you, but you can sleep well tonight — Your nightmare is finally over!” Trum
