Federal agents were spotted conducting a search near the home of Rep. Henry Cuellar’s home in Texas on Wednesday.
The FBI said agents were conducting “court-authorized law enforcement activity” in the vicinity of Windridge Drive and Estate Drive in Laredo but otherwise declined to comment on other specifics in the “ongoing investigation.”
A reporter for the Monitor newspaper said federal agents were also seen at Cuellar’s campaign headquarters in the afternoon. The reporter, Valerie Gonzalez, shared photos taken at both locations on Twitter.

Something new: Federal agents were also at the campaign HQ office this afternoon.
It wasn’t included in the FBI statement, but two of the vehicles seen there at 4:20 pm later showed up at the residence. An agent wearing an FBI jacket climbed out of one. pic.twitter.com/60oefRoBAS
