Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) said on Dec. 7 that he is willing to work with President Donald Trump despite running for reelection as a Democrat after Trump pardoned him last week.

The comment came after Trump criticized Cuellar for maintaining ties with “the same radical left” even after the president has granted him and his wife a pardon. The couple were charged with money laundering last year.
