In 2024, Henry Cuellar was indicted on conspiracy and bribery charges.
From the AP:
"From 2014 to 2021, Cuellar, 68, and his wife accepted nearly $600,000 in bribes from an Azerbaijan-controlled energy company and a bank in Mexico, and in exchange, Cuellar agreed to advance the interests of the country and the bank in the U.S., according to the indictment."

Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas, wife indicted over ties to Azerbaijan
Democratic U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas and his wife have been indicted on conspiracy and bribery charges in connection with a federal probe into their ties with the former Soviet republic of Azerbaijan. The U.S. Department of Justice said the couple surrendered to authorities on Friday and were taken into custody. It said they made an initial appearance before a federal judge in Houston and were each released on $100,000 bond. Cuellar released a statement Friday denying any wrongdoing. According to the federal indictment, the couple accepted nearly $600,000 in bribes from an Azerbaijan-controlled energy company and a bank in Mexico in exchange for advancing the interests of the country and the bank in the U.S.
The AP continued:
"Among other things, Cuellar agreed to influence legislation favorable to Azerbaijan and deliver a pro-Azerbaijan speech on the floor of the U.S. House, the indictment states."

In December, President Trump pardoned Cuellar and his wife.

After granting Cuellar a pardon, Trump learned Cuellar was going to run for reelection as a Democrat.
So, Trump threw a hissy fit on Truth Social, a very presidential thing to do.

Cuellar has maintained that he and his wife are innocent of the charges that were brought against them.

The race proceeded to a runoff, where Cuellar won by only 281 votes, or 0.6%.
