The U.S Justice Department is expected to drop some charges against U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, an embattled Democrat whose South Texas district includes part of San Antonio, the New York Times reports. According to the Times, sources anticipate the DOJ will nix charges relating to the Foreign Agents Registration Act as it moves forward on Cuellar’s case. Those charges, filed last year, stem from a federal investigation alleging the congressman used his office to advocate for legislation favoring a Mexican bank and foreign policy friendly towards the country of Azerbaijan.
