2025年12月3日 特朗普赦免了民主党代表 德克萨斯州的亨利·奎拉尔 和他的妻子伊梅尔达 Trump pardoned Democratic Representative Henry Cuellar of Texas and his wife, Imelda, on December 3, 2025, in a federal bribery and conspiracy case. 赦免包括接受阿塞拜疆一家能源公司和一家墨西哥银行近60万美元贿赂的指控,这项赦免提前了2026年4月的一项审判。 The pardon, which covers charges of accepting nearly $600,000 in bribes from an Azerbaijani energy company and a Mexican bank, came ahead of a trial set for April 2026. Trump声称起诉是出于政治动机, 引述Cuellar对拜登总统移民政策的批评。 Trump claimed the prosecution was politically motivated, citing Cuellar’s criticism of President Biden’s immigration policies. Cuelar坚持自己无罪,他表示感谢,并重申他致力于担任民主党人。 Cuellar, who maintains his innocence, expressed gratitude and reaffirmed his commitment to serving as a Democrat. 这一举动是特朗普利用总统赦免权支持盟友的更广泛模式的一部分,是对司法政治化的审视。 The move is part of a broader pattern of Trump using presidential pardon power to support allies, drawing scrutiny over the politicization of justice.
