Trump Administration Dismisses HIPAA Case Against Texas Doctor for Exposing Transgender Surgeries on Minors
Jan 24, 2025, 10:11 PM
The Trump administration has moved to dismiss the case against Dr. Eithan Haim, a Texas surgeon who was charged by the Biden administration with violating HIPAA privacy statutes after exposing transgender surgeries being performed on minors at Texas Children's Hospital. Haim provided documents to conservative journalist Christopher Rufo, revealing that the hospital was secretly continuing these interventions despite announcing it would cease such procedures. The case against Haim has been dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled. Haim faced potential penalties of up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted. The dismissal follows advocacy from figures like Senator Josh Hawley, who urged the Trump DOJ to end the prosecution.
