Indicted South Texas Rep. Cuellar spends majority of campaign cash on legal fees
South Texas U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar has diverted more than half of his 2024 campaign cash into covering legal expenses as he faces federal charges of accepting bribes from Azerbaijan's state-run oil company and a Mexican bank, government transparency group Open Secrets reports. Nearly $785,000 of the Cuellar campaign's $1.5 million in spending through the end of March was on legal fees, according to nonpartisan Open Secret's review of federal data. That's a significant change from earlier cycles, during which the campaign spent the bulk of its money on media buys and other more routine expenses.
