President Donald J. Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) is moving to dismiss the federal prosecution initiated by the Biden government against Texas doctor and whistleblower Eithan Haim. Last summer, the Biden DOJ filed charges against Dr. Haim after he exposed a Texas hospital’s clandestine program administering puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and other sex-change operations on minors.
“The United States, appearing through its undersigned attorneys, and the defendant, Eithan David Haim, hereby move this Court for an order dismissing the Second Superseding Indictment and all open counts with prejudice,” the filing reads.
In 2023, Haim had alerted several media outlets, including City Journal, that the Texas Children’s Hospital transgender medicine program included minor children among its patients, despite the hospital publicly stating otherwise. The ensuing controversy led the Texas state legislature to ban transgender medical procedures from being conducted on minors altogether.
Following the disclosure, the Biden government sent federal agents to Haim’s residence to question him and inform him he was under federal investigation. Nearly a year later, Assistant U.S. Attorney Tina Ansari indicted Haim on four felony counts for violating federal HIPAA statutes.
In response to the charges, Haim’s attorney insisted that the doctor went to great lengths to comply with HIPAA standards, even in his leaks to the media, redacting any patient-identifying information from the documents he provided reporters. The Biden government’s persecution of the medical whistleblower drew outrage from activists who oppose the medical community’s negligence regarding the radical and controversial transgender procedures.
