Democrat lawmakers are calling for the resignation of two of their congressional colleagues following their recent encounter with the law.
As per a report on Conservative Archives, Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) and his wife, Imelda, are facing serious charges. The Department of Justice has indicted them over money laundering and an alleged $600,000 bribery scheme.

The DOJ accused the lawmaker and his wife of taking bribes from two foreign entities from December 2014 to November 2021. An oil and gas company owned and controlled by the Government of Azerbaijan and a bank headquartered in Mexico City allegedly paid $600,000 to shell companies owned by Imelda. In return, the lawmaker agreed to influence policies in the U.S. in favor of the two on foreign entities.
Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and his wife Nadine were also indicted on bribery-related charges in September. The DOJ indicted the senator and his wife on multiple crimes, including conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit extortion under color of official right and conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, according to Red State Of Mind Daily.

Dem Rep Pleads Innocence Ahead of DOJ Indictment

) – A Democratic representative and his wife have claimed innocence amid a federal indictment that accuses them of bribery and conspiracy.
Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar and his wife were charged on Friday May 3 in relation to their financial involvement with Azerbaijan, a former Soviet republic. The 68-year-old lawmaker from the Lone Star State was joined by his wife in allegedly accepting almost $600,000 in bribes from an Azerbaijani energy company as well as a Mexican bank.
Cuellar returned the favor by positively influencing the country’s interests along with those of the bank. The illicit bribes are said to have occurred between 2014 and 2021. One of his scrutinized actions was the agreement to push pro-Azerbaijan bills in the United States legislature—including giving a speech on the House floor that promoted the country.

According to the Department of Justice, which launched the probe into the couple, Cuellar and his wife did not resist authorities when taken into custody. Their first court appearance with a Houston federal judge resulted in each being released on a bond of $100,000.
