U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, speaks during a campaign event, Wednesday, May 4, 2022, in San Antonio. Cuellar, a 17-year incumbent and one of the last anti-abortion Democrats in Congress, is in his toughest reelection campaign, facing a May 24 primary runoff against progressive Jessica Cisneros. WASHINGTON — Just weeks ahead of a closely contested Democratic runoff, U.S. Rep.
One former staffer said in a deposition in the case that Cuellar asked staff to write statements about Small while “her work performance was still fresh in our mind.” They said Cuellar asked for them “to just kind of write something down so if we ever had to reference it for whatever reason, we had a statement to reference.”
“Perhaps Cuellar was simply looking for corroboration of Small’s poor performance, but a jury might also see this as an attempt to collect post hoc justifications,” Trevor N. McFadden, the U.S. district judge overseeing the case, wrote in an order dismissing Cuellar’s request for summary judgment.The lawsuit was settled last August, two weeks after progressive immigration attorney Jessica Cisneros announced a second run against the longtime Laredo congressman.
It’s the latest potential setback for Cuellar, who is in the fight of his political life against Cisneros, a 28-year-old Laredo native who has far outpaced him in fundraising.Justice Department prosecutors informed him that the congressman is not a target in the investigation.
