Cuellar is in USA Congress rn. Trial woulda been April 2026.
Cuellar claims he never peddled influence, never gave quid pro quo, thus only took $$$ but not bribes, is victim of Biden Weaponized justice, after Cuellar challenged awful Biden migrant policy.
Not sure what is pardoned here. Usually, u get convicted first, take pardon after.
Cuellar will stay D, but, obviously, work with Trump on some things like migrant policy, or fighting lawfare & weaponized justice. They're both victims.
