Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Democrat from Texas, has been indicted on bribery and money laundering charges, becoming the first House Democrat to call for his resignation. The Department of Justice accused Cuellar and his wife, Imelda, of accepting $600,000 in bribes from an energy company and bank in exchange for promoting their interests in the U.S. Cuellar maintained his innocence and defended his wife’s qualifications. Cuellar and his wife appeared in court and face multiple charges related to bribery and money laundering. Other Democrats, including Sen. Bob Menendez and former President Trump, are also facing legal issues. Rep. Dean Phillips called for Cuellar’s resignation, citing low trust in government.
