articleThe Brief A South Texas sheriff is indicted for allegedly running a for-profit cleaning business using county staff.
A sheriff for a South Texas county has been accused of starting a cleaning company with his department's staff to clear half a million in profits.
Martin Cuellar, sheriff of Webb County and brother of recently-pardoned U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, is believed to have used $175,000 of those profits for personal gain, including buying property in Laredo.
The attorney's office says the cleaning company was run this way for more than two years under Cuellar, Gutierrez and Rodriguez.
According to Trump, Biden brought the charges in response to Henry Cuellar "speaking the TRUTH" about the former president's border policies.
