Trump angry with Democrat Rep. Cuellar after pardoning him
President Trump is upset with Democratic Congressman Henry Cuellar after granting him a pardon. Last week, the president pardoned the Texas Democrat and his wife in a federal bribery and conspiracy case. He claimed the two were prosecuted because Cuellar had been critical of Joe Biden’s immigration policies. But now Donald Trump is angry that Cuellar plans to run for reelection as a Democrat rather than switch parties. He blasted the congressman on social media for his “lack of loyalty” — suggesting the president was hoping the pardon would boost the size of the GOP’s slim majority in the House.
