Sen. TomCottonAR told Breitbart News Daily that the federal indictment of former President Trump was “a very disappointing moment.”
Houck was arrested, allegedly at gunpoint, at his Pennsylvania home in front of his wife and young children last September.
Biden’s DOJ brought assault charges against Houck under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, as Breitbart NewsThe DOJ decided to press charges against Houck, 48, who pushed a Planned Parenthood escort twice on October 13, 2021 — even though local authorities declined to press charges. Houck said he pushed the escort, 73-year-old Bruce Love, because he was verbally harassing his 12-year-old son as he was sidewalk counseling outside the abortion clinic.
Cotton, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Criminal Justice and Counterterrorism, contended Biden’s leading political opponent, Trump – who was indicted on 37 counts relating to documents he took with him to Mar-a-Lago at the end of his presidency – should not be prosecuted “on a stretch case or novel legal theories or an edge case.”
“Remember, the most important thing about Donald Trump right now is not that he’s the former president. It’s that he’s the opposition party’s leading candidate for the presidency,” Cotton emphasized.
