Democratic congressman used his office to influence U.S. policy for Azerbaijan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Justice Department on Friday\u00a0released an indictment\u00a0against longtime Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, and his wife, Imelda, charging the pair with bribery and money laundering related to their ties with a bank in Mexico and an oil and gas company controlled by Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBC News was first to report that the charges were coming. The congressman and his wife were each released on a $100,000 bond after a first appearance in federal court in Houston, a DOJ spokesperson said Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the indictment, from 2014 to 2021, the Cuellars allegedly accepted roughly $600,000 in bribes from the two foreign entities in exchange for the congressman performing official acts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe bribe payments were allegedly laundered, pursuant to sham consulting contracts, through a series of front companies and middlemen into shell companies owned by Imelda Cuellar, who performed little to no legitimate work under the contracts,\u201d the DOJ said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
