— An attorney for U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Laredo Democrat whose home and campaign office were searched by the FBI earlier this year, says the Department of Justice told him that the congressman is not a target in the federal investigation.
“Over the last several weeks, the Justice Department, in a conversation I had with the prosecutor, let me know that Congressman Cuellar is not a target of this investigation,” Joshua Berman, Cuellar’s attorney, told Fox News.
Berman confirmed the same to Hearst Newspapers in a text message on Wednesday, saying: “DOJ informed me that Congressman Cuellar is not a target of the investigation.”....
“There is an ongoing investigation that will show there was no wrongdoing on my part,” Cuellar said in a video tweeted by his campaign. “I am fully cooperating with law enforcement and committed to ensuring that justice and the law is upheld.”
