The Justice Department indicted Rep. Henry Cuellar and his wife on Friday for allegedly accepting bribes of close to $600,000.
The bribes allegedly came between 2014 and 2021 from an oil and gas firm owned by the Azerbaijani government and a bank based out of Mexico City. The payoff, according to federal prosecutors, went through a Texas-based shell company owned by Mr. Cuellar’s wife, Imelda Cuellar.
