The Trump administration's Department of Justice has moved to dismiss, with prejudice, the case against Dr. Eithan Haim, a surgeon who exposed that Texas Children's Hospital was secretly performing gender transition procedures on minors despite publicly claiming to have halted such treatments. Dr. Haim had been charged under the Biden administration with violating the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) for leaking medical records to substantiate his claims. A federal judge has now dismissed the charges, ending what many called a political prosecution. The dismissal is considered a significant victory for Dr. Haim's supporters, who view him as a whistleblower acting to protect children.
