House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) praised President Donald Trump on Wednesday for pursuing “the right outcome” in pardoning Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX).

Cuellar and his wife are facing federal charges of bribery, money laundering, and acting as foreign agents for the Azerbaijani government and a Mexican bank. While the federal indictment was issued in 2024 during the Biden administration, Cuellar’s trial was pushed back to this year and then delayed again until 2026 , when a judge ruled to drop the charges of acting as foreign agents.
