President Trump Regrets Pardoning Rep. Cuellar Amid Reelection Bid
President Trump expressed regret over pardoning Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Democrat from Texas, after Cuellar announced his intention to run for reelection. Cuellar had faced charges of bribery and money laundering, which were dismissed following the pardon. Trump's decision to pardon Cuellar, who holds a competitive seat, surprised many Republicans and was seen as undermining potential GOP gains in the upcoming midterm elections. Cuellar's reelection bid comes despite his previous votes to impeach Trump, adding to the controversy.
