Houck told Steve Bannon that one of kids 'easily could have been shot' during the 'extremely reckless' raid and that he plans to testify before Congress.
Asked by a reporter whether the case ever should have been brought at all, Houck deflected to his attorneys, saying he’s just ‘grateful’ that ‘justice’ was ‘finally served.’
‘Mark and his family are now free of the cloud that the Biden administration threw upon them. We took on the Goliath – the full might of the United States government – and won,’ Thomas More Society attorney Peter Breen said.
‘It is abundantly clear that Mark did not violate any aspect of the FACE Act and the government’s case is without merit,’ Pro-Life Coalition of Pennsylvania spokeswoman Ashley Garecht told LifeSiteNews.
Mark Houck took the stand in his own defense Friday. Houck’s son, who attorneys say had been verbally harassed by the abortion ‘escort’, is also scheduled to testify.
The CEO of the local Planned Parenthood chapter reportedly acknowledged during cross-examination Wednesday that the abortion ‘escort’ around whom the case centers violated the company’s own policies in engaging in an altercation with Mark Houck and his son.
