Trump DOJ Drops HIPAA Charges Against Dr. Haim, Whistleblower of Child Gender Surgeries at Texas Children's Hospital
Jan 24, 2025, 08:16 PM
The Trump administration's Department of Justice has moved to dismiss the federal charges against Dr. Eithan Haim, a surgeon who exposed Texas Children's Hospital for allegedly performing gender-transition procedures on minors after publicly stating it had ceased such operations. Dr. Haim had been prosecuted under the Biden administration for alleged violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) after disclosing information that revealed the hospital's continued involvement in surgeries, including double mastectomies, on children as young as 11. The case, which had lasted a year and a half, was dismissed with prejudice following calls from public figures, including Senator Josh Hawley, who urged the DOJ to end what they described as a politically motivated prosecution. Dr. Haim had provided evidence of the hospital's activities to journalist Christopher Rufo, highlighting that hundreds of staff were aware of the clandestine operations. The dismissal marks a significant development in the ongoing debate over transgender medical interventions for minors and underscores issues surrounding whistleblower protections.
