Trump threatens Biden with 'very big price' over DOJ's indictment of 'respected Democrat'
Donald Trump on Sunday threatened Joe Biden while blaming the current president for the recent indictment of a Democratic lawmaker who is accused of "participating in two schemes involving bribery, unlawful foreign influence, and money laundering."
The indictment of Henry Cuellar was recently announced by the DOJ, which said that he and his wife allegedly took approximately $600,000 in bribes from a fossil fuel company owned by the Azerbaijani government and an unnamed bank headquartered in Mexico City.
Trump then reacted to a Democrat being charged under a system he has previously said favors people from that political party over the GOP.

"Biden just Indicted Henry Cuellar because the Respected Democrat Congressman wouldn’t play Crooked Joe’s Open Border game," Trump said without providing evidence for his claim that the Cuellars were politically targeted by the administration, particularly over border issues.
"He was for Border Control, so they said, 'Let’s use the FBI and DOJ to take him out!'" he said. "This is the way they operate."
Finally, the ex-president leveled a threat.
"They’re a bunch of D.C. Thugs, and at some point they will be paying a very big price for what they have done to our Country. CROOKED JOE BIDEN IS A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY!"
