Former Congressman George Santos is making some big claims on X, which would result in Democrats losing one of their own following a pretty serious indictment.

Santos took to the social media platform on Christmas to tease some “tea” from Capitol Hill, calling it the “juiciest yet” in a follow-up comment. Users were intrigued by the potential of big news coming so late in the year, and on Thursday Santos made good on his promise.

The tea is as follows:

It’s alleged someone is going to receive a pardon and flip from blue to red in the House of Representatives.

“The tea is as follows,” he wrote. “It’s alleged someone is going to receive a pardon and flip from blue to red in the House of Representatives. Now I fully believe that this person has only gotten indicted because of his wide open criticism of the current admin and his opposition to Mayorkas and all things happening at the southern border. Now that being said, I personally support the pardon and the flip… very much like I supported Rep. Van Drew (R-NJ) when he flipped blue to red.”

“The reality is simple, people change and they do so for a reason, it’s a moment of clarity when they realize they have been left behind by their team mates… In this case the Dems have radicalized in a way that is leaving center left leaning Dems abandoned… I’d like to say welcome to Henry Cuellar specially [sic] if the allegations are true,” he added. “As President Trump said it himself, Henry is a respected member of the house and has stood on the correct side of the boarder [sic] issue, for the most part. Good day everyone!”

According to a DOJ memo, Cuellar was indicted in May 2024 for allegedly “accepted approximately $600,000 in bribes from two foreign entities.” These “entities” are reportedly “an oil and gas company wholly owned and controlled by the Government of Azerbaijan, and a bank headquartered in Mexico City.”

“The bribe payments were allegedly laundered, pursuant to sham consulting contracts, through a series of front companies and middlemen into shell companies owned by Imelda Cuellar, who performed little to no legitimate work under the contracts. In exchange for the bribes paid by the Azerbaijani oil and gas company, Congressman Cuellar allegedly agreed to use his office to influence U.S. foreign policy in favor of Azerbaijan. In exchange for the bribes paid by the Mexican bank, Congressman Cuellar allegedly agreed to influence legislative activity and to advise and pressure high-ranking U.S. Executive Branch officials regarding measures beneficial to the bank,” the DOJ continued.

Cuellar and his wife, Imelda Cuellar, are both charged with “two counts of conspiracy to commit bribery of a federal official and to have a public official act as an agent of a foreign principal required to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), five years imprisonment on each count; two counts of bribery of a federal official, 15 years imprisonment on each count; two counts of conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud, 20 years imprisonment on each count; two counts of violating the ban on public officials acting as agents of a foreign principal required to register under FARA, two years imprisonment on each count; one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, 20 years imprisonment; and five counts of money laundering, 20 years imprisonment on each count.”
