A key witness for the Biden administration’s successful prosecution of 10 Christian pro-life activists who took part in a peaceful protest at a Tennessee abortion facility is scheduled to be sentenced on Wednesday for her part in the protest. Caroline Davis‚ who took a plea deal with the Justice Department in exchange for her testimony against her one time fellow activists‚ is expected to be sentenced by Middle District of Tennessee Federal Judge Aleta Trauger at the Fred Thompson federal courthouse in Nashville on Wednesday. At one point‚ Davis faced felony charges and over 10 years in prison and hundreds of thousands in fines for her role in a peaceful pro-life protest at the Carafem abortion facility in Mt Juliet‚ Tennessee on March 5‚ 2021. The March 2021 protest involved a group of demonstrators gathered on the second floor of an office building in the hallway outside Carafem in Mt. Juliet. The group‚ including Davis‚ prayed‚ sang hymns‚ and urged women showing up to the clinic to not get abortions. Several sat in front of doors to the facility and against the walls of the hallway. In October‚ Davis pled guilty to misdemeanor charges related to the protest if she agreed to testify. She was a key witness in two federal trials in Nashville‚ including one where six defendants — including Chet Gallagher of Tennessee‚ Coleman Boyd of Mississippi‚ Heather Idoni of Michigan‚ Cal Zastrow of Michigan‚ Paul Vaughn of Tennessee‚ and Dennis Green of Virginia — were convicted of violating the FACE Act and civil rights conspiracy over the protest. The FACE Act is a Clinton-era law that is frequently used against pro-lifers protesting outside of abortion facilities. The six convicted in February face up to 10.5 years in prison and fines of up to $260‚000 when sentenced in July. Davis also testified in a one day bench trial for four others involved in the demonstration earlier this month. Those four — Eva Edl‚ Eva Zastrow‚ James Zastrow‚ and Paul Place — were convicted of violating the FACE Act and face up to six months in prison and a $10‚000 fine upon sentencing in July. During her testimony in January‚ Davis claimed that she had a change of heart about attending the Carafem demonstration. She said her “rational side” was “in the toilet” at the time of her participation. She also said that she changed her mind “over time” and that being indicted by the federal government “terrified” her.

When asked about a previous meeting with the prosecution and about how long it was‚ she said‚ “I have a busy life‚” and replied “Oh my God” when asked about another meeting with the government. At one point‚ Trauger told her to just answer the question and not add any commentary to her answers. No one present at Carafem was arrested for assault or any assault-related charge. Davis said the most violence she saw was when a police officer moved two pro-lifers aside when taking a woman down the hallway to the abortion facility. Davis was also a key witness in a similar Washington‚ D.C.‚ abortion facility FACE Act trial where she again pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge in exchange for her testimony. The convictions have prompted calls from Republican lawmakers to repeal the FACE Act‚ saying that it has been weaponized to target pro-lifers.

In a late Tuesday vote‚ the Democrat-controlled Senate approved a $95 billion package that aims to provide aid to U.S. allies‚ including Ukraine and Israel‚ and paves the way to a possible TikTok ban. Senators voted 79-18 to pass the legislation‚ with most Democrats and Republicans supporting it. It needed 60 votes to prevail. The package now heads to President Joe Biden‚ who is expected to sign the legislation. “Today‚ we send a message — America will defend democracy‚” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a post to X in the run-up to the bill’s passage. NEWS: Senate PASSES $95 billion aid bill for Ukraine‚ Israel‚ &; Taiwan that also forces the sale of TikTok. Vote was 79-18‚ it now goes to Pres Biden's desk for his signature. GO NO VOTES: Barrasso Blackburn Braun Budd CruzHagerty Hawley Johnson Lee Lummis Marshall… — Frank Thorp V (@frankthorp) April 24‚ 2024 The GOP-led House passed the foreign aid package over the weekend in a series of separate votes that followed Iran’s missile and drone attack on Israel earlier this month. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Included in the package is $61 billion to boost Ukraine in its war against Russia and give assistance to regional partners‚ $26 billion for Israel as it fights Hamas in the Gaza Strip‚ and humanitarian aid‚ and $8 billion for Indo-Pacific allies like Taiwan. There are other elements‚ such as sanctions for fentanyl trafficking and other matters‚ as well as compensating Ukraine with seized Russian assets. U.S. agencies get funds to fulfill the purposes of the bill‚ including the Defense and State Departments. The legislation also has a section that gives Chinese-based ByteDance up to a year to divest from TikTok or else the app gets banned in the United States. TikTok is expected to sue‚ a move that would likely drag out the process. A final Senate vote took place on Tuesday hours after the chamber easily met the three-fifths threshold to limit debate over the protest of hardline Republicans and leftist members including Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT). “The Uniparty wants to rubber stamp this $95 billion betrayal‚” Lee said in a post to X. “They even banned Senators from amending this disastrous bill to secure the border‚ or prevent tax dollars from going to Hamas&;#33;” Efforts on Capitol Hill to pass foreign aid was stymied for several months after the Biden administration made a national security supplemental request last fall. In mid-February‚ the Senate passed a $95 billion foreign aid bill that would allocate money for Ukraine‚ Israel‚ and Taiwan by a 70-29 vote with support of most Democrats and some Republicans. A bipartisan immigration deal had been tacked onto that legislation‚ but it was dropped after a group of Republicans and leftist senators blocked the larger bill from advancing. The House refused to take up the Senate-passed legislation as Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and other Republicans demanded that legislation to help alleviate the border crisis be part of the equation. Over the weekend‚ when the House passed its foreign aid package in piecemeal fashion‚ a sufficient number of lawmakers voted to reject a border security bill that received consideration as part of the process. Another TikTok bill with a shorter divestiture window‚ which the House passed in March amid national security concerns about the app‚ did not get a vote in the Senate.
