DOJ expected to announce indictment of Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar, sources say

oVERTON'S SUMMARY

The Justice Department is expected to announce the indictment of Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, marking a significant development in a federal investigation involving Azerbaijan and U.S. businessmen with ties to the country. Cuellar's home and campaign office were raided in 2022, and his office pledged cooperation. While he stated he was not the target of the investigation, it is unclear if the indictment is related to the raid. Despite winning re-election in 2022 after a narrow primary victory, the current legal troubles may affect Cuellar's vulnerability in upcoming elections. Cuellar's district has shifted to include more of San Antonio, making it bluer, but he remains a centrist Blue Dog Democrat who opposes abortion rights, a stance that has drawn criticism from within his party. The indictment could challenge his political standing as he seeks an 11th term in Congress.
