The FBI on Wednesday raided Democratic Congressman Henry Cuellar’s home and campaign office in Texas as part of a wide-ranging federal probe relating to the former Soviet state of Azerbaijan and several U.S. businessmen, a source familiar with the matter told ABC News.
A federal grand jury in Washington is investigating the matter, but it’s unclear if Cuellar is a target of the grand jury’s probe, ABC News was told.
The article goes on to state the following:
Cuellar, who represents Texas’ 28th Congressional District along the U.S.-Mexico border, has been in Congress since 2005. In recent years he has served as a co-chair of the Congressional Azerbaijan Caucus, and repeatedly met with Azerbaijan officials, including the ambassador of Azerbaijan, Elin Suleymanov.

More reaction to the FBI’s presence at the home of U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar’s. The city of Laredo shared a statement with local reporters (not me) from the mayor who clarified the local police was not involved.

Ohhhh he’s a demonrat?? Meh he’ll get off the hook
Shouldn’t challenge OBiden on border !! Look out Sinema and Manchin you are next !!! The OBiden cartel in DC eliminating their non conformist !!!
And yet they allow hunter to do what ever he wants with China
I think its all about Cuellars Defiance of JB southern border policy failures. His district stretches from San Antonio to the Southern Border town Laredo. Democrats will sacrifice one of their own to send a msg to other dissenters.
I wonder what he did the administration did not like? Must be something that got their wrath, unbelievable since he is a Democrat.
He is against Biden’s handling of the southern border. Very outspoken.
But that jessica who’s challenging him sure is hoping it’s bad news for Rep Cuellar, huh?! She didn’t need to release a statement and she looks like a circling shark to me.
No 2AM raid ?
Silly Democrat. Don’t go against party lines. They’ll sic the fbi on you. But Hunter and Joe get a pass.
Do your job and investigate Hunter Biden! You are all corrupt you F’ing piece of s!!!!!!
Probably wasn’t cutting Joe in.
