Former President Donald Trump blamed President Joe Biden for the indictment of Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) and his wife, Imelda, who have been indicted for allegedly accepting $600,000 in bribes from two foreign entities, while at least one Democrat in the House is already breaking ranks against the congressman.

“Biden just Indicted Henry Cuellar because the Respected Democrat Congressman wouldn’t play Crooked Joe’s Open Border game. He was for Border Control, so they said, ‘Let’s use the FBI and DOJ to take him out!’ Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday. “This is the way they operate. They’re a bunch of D.C. Thugs, and at some point, they will be paying a very big price for what they have done to our Country.”
