What happened to Cuellar's two political consultants, Colin Strother and Florencio Rendon, who prosecutors said helped funnel bribe money?

Question

Accepted Answer

Colin Strother, Cuellar's former campaign manager and chief of staff, and Florencio "Lencho" Rendon, a Texas businessman close to Cuellar, both signed plea deals in March 2024. Strother pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering, facing up to five years in prison. Rendon faced up to 20 years. Strother admitted that Rendon paid him $11,000 monthly on the condition he send $10,000 to Cuellar's wife—totaling $214,890—for a fuel company project Strother realized "was a sham" to "funnel money" to Cuellar. Both agreed to testify before a grand jury or in judicial proceedings when called by the United States. Trump's pardon did not extend to them.
