In the last 10 days, Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar has been indicted on bribery charges, had a woman allegedly connected to the bribery scheme plead guilty and had a former staffer agree to cooperate with the government against him.
He’s also now lost two senior staff members.
Jacob Hochberg, his former chief of staff, resigned from Cuellar’s office three days after the Texas congressman was indicted on May 3 over charges of bribery and money laundering. Over the weekend, his campaign fundraiser, Vanessa Ide, also quit.
