NBC News reports:
The Justice Department is expected to announce the indictment of longtime Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, on Friday, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.
Cuellar’s home and campaign office in Laredo, Texas, were raided in January 2022 as part of a federal investigation into Azerbaijan and a group of U.S. businessmen who have ties to the country, law enforcement said at the time. His office had pledged to cooperate with the investigation.
Cuellar is a one-time co-chair of the Congressional Azerbaijan Caucus. It wasn’t immediately clear if the indictment was related to the 2022 raid. The Justice Department declined to comment.
Read the full article. Another Menendez? Cuellar has long earned the ire of mainline Democrats for his opposition to abortion rights. Last year he was the sole Democrat to vote for restricting abortion access for military members.
UPDATE: Moments ago Fox reported than an indictment has been issued. Still no details as to its contents.
