As President Donald Trump swiftly pardoned January 6 political prisoners and pro-life activists targeted by the Biden Justice Department, another victim was anxiously seeking help as he realized the former administration&#8217;s case against him was being accelerated.
Texas Children&#8217;s whistleblower Eithan Haim and his wife got on the phone with Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, a Republican who has been aggressively outspoken on the weaponization of the government against Americans, specifically on culture issues like abortion and transgender ideology. Hawley spoke out in Haim&#8217;s defense when Haim initially sounded the alarm about transgender procedures being performed on children at the Texas hospital.
&#8220;He was very worried that a warrant might be issued for his imminent arrest and the DOJ was pushing to start the trial as quickly as possible,&#8221; Hawley shared in a Friday evening phone call with The Daily Wire. The senator suggested that these officials sought &#8220;to make it difficult to do what DOJ ultimately did today&#8221; — which was to drop the charges against Haim. 
The Haims asked Hawley if there was anything he could do to help them. So the senator got on the phone with Acting Attorney General James McHenry.
&#8220;I called him this morning,&#8221; Hawley said. &#8220;I just told him that I talked to Dr. Haim&#8230;I said, &#8216;Here&#8217;s where I think this stands. Your U.S. attorney in the Southern District does not appear to be dropping this case at all. In fact, they appear to be accelerating.&#8217; He was alarmed by this. And said, &#8216;Well, I wanna look into this immediately and see what we can do.'&#8221; 
&#8220;Two hours after we got off the phone, they issued the one sentence dismissal,&#8221; Hawley said. 
The Missouri Republican described that swift action as &#8220;an incredible testament to this administration.&#8221;
The Daily Wire&#8217;s Brent Scher <a href="https://x.com/BrentScher/status/1882892000460243301">was on the phone with Haim</a> when his wife gave him the news that he was no longer being prosecuted. Haim, ecstatic at the news, celebrated: “The judge just signed it! It’s f***ing over!”

&#8220;I have never seen or heard of an administration moving this quickly,&#8221; Hawley told The Daily Wire. &#8220;They moved super fast on the pro-life prisoners&#8230;with Dr. Haim, I hope and trust someone has been reviewing his case at main DOJ, but to really jump into it today and just BOOM, say, we&#8217;re going to draw this to a close, which is the right thing to do, I think is incredibly impressive.&#8221;
Asked if the Trump DOJ has interest in looking into the officials hastening Haim&#8217;s case, Hawley said that McHenry seemed surprised that the U.S. attorney in the Southern District was accelerating the case.
&#8220;I assume that U.S. attorney will be replaced,&#8221; Hawley said. &#8220;Hopefully that change will come soon. All I can say is, he was great to talk to, he said he would look into this immediately, and man, he did very quickly.&#8221;
The Justice Department dropping charges against Haim is an &#8220;incredible vindication for the rule of law,&#8221; Hawley said, &#8220;but also for his courage, because the truth is he came forward to expose illegal gender transition surgeries.&#8221;
&#8220;Under Texas laws and regulations, they were not supposed to be being performed by this hospital on minors, and the hospital was doing it anyway and concealing it. And so he came forward and by the way, he did it in full compliance with the law. He was very careful not to reveal any personal information, but he exposed the fact that the hospital was violating state law, and who knows how many people&#8217;s lives, how many children&#8217;s lives, he may have saved by doing that because they had to stop after he exposed them,&#8221; the senator shared. 
&#8220;And of course,&#8221; he concluded, &#8220;for that courage, the Biden administration prosecuted him and would have thrown him into federal prison. That was their goal. It&#8217;s unbelievable. This is a vindication of him. It is a vindication of his courage, and it&#8217;s a real vindication for the rule of law.&#8221;
This was not the only major culture case Hawley was involved in over the past week. Hawley spoke to Trump on Thursday morning, shortly before the president pardoned the pro-life activists.
&#8220;What I said to him is, &#8216;This is a great time to pardon all those folks,'&#8221; Hawley shared, noting that the March for Life would take place the following day.
&#8220;All credit to him, they were clearly working on it, ready to go, and he pulled the trigger on it,&#8221; the senator said. &#8220;I think the credit goes to them&#8230;.the bureaucracy doesn&#8217;t usually move this quickly unless you have someone at the top who really wants it to move.&#8221;
Hawley was the first to receive strong assurances from Health and Human Services nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that Kennedy would protect life if confirmed. That revelation pacified many in the pro-life community, who were concerned about Kennedy and his past comments on abortion. On Friday, Hawley shared that he had also urged Trump himself to reinstate HHS conscience protections immediately, saying there is no reason to wait on these pro-life policies that Trump had adopted in his first term.
&#8220;I had a great conversation this morning with <a class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1loqt21" dir="ltr" role="link" href="https://x.com/realDonaldTrump">@realDonaldTrump</a> about the pro-life prisoners unjustly persecuted and imprisoned by the corrupt Biden Administration,&#8221; Hawley tweeted shortly after his Thursday call with the president. &#8220;I urged him to pardon them swiftly. They have done nothing wrong!&#8221;

For now, Hawley is confident that Trump will enact these pro-life protections. And he has a growing cohort of Americans who are very grateful to him for his intercession.
