Trump pardons Democratic congressman and his wife

President Trump has pardoned a Democratic congressman and his wife. Citing what he called a “weaponized” justice system, the president pardoned Texas Democratic Representative Henry Cuellar and his wife in a federal bribery and conspiracy case. He claimed the two were prosecuted because the congressman had been critical of President Biden’s immigration policies. Writing on social media, the president said Cuellar “bravely spoke out against open borders.”
