President Donald Trump on Monday evening urged Texans not to back Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX), criticizing the Democratic lawmaker for launching a reelection campaign after the president pardoned him. 

Trump pardoned Cuellar and his wife in December after the couple was indicted on corruption charges under former President Joe Biden’s Justice Department. The charges related to bribery, illegal foreign influence, and money laundering after they were accused of taking over half a million dollars from an Azerbaijani oil company and a Mexican bank.
