Trump DOJ Drops Case Against Texas Doctor Who Exposed Transgender Procedures For Minors

The Trump-led Department of Justice has dropped the Biden DOJ’s case against Eithan Haim, a Texas-based doctor who blew the whistle on gender-reassignment procedures that were being performed on minors despite state directives banning the practice.

“The United States has finally agreed to drop the case against Dr. Haim, and the Court just granted dismissal,” Marcella Burke, attorney for Eithan Haim, told Fox News. “The case has been dismissed with prejudice so that the federal government can never again come after him for blowing the whistle on the secret pediatric transgender program at Texas Children’s Hospital.”

“We took on the most powerful federal leviathan in human history and won!” Haim told Fox News in a statement of his own. “This is credit to the power of truth and justice being able to destroy lies and corruption.”

Haim was first targeted by the Biden DOJ in 2022 for blowing the whistle on gender reassignment procedures that were taking place at the Texas Children’s Hospital. The doctor was ultimately indicted in June of last year on four felony counts, pertaining to an alleged breach of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), according to a statement from prosecutors at the time.

In 2023, Haim leaked evidence anonymously to conservative journalist Christopher Rufo. Documents leaked by Haim revealed that the Texas Children’s Hospital was continuing its gender reassignment surgery program for minors despite being ordered to cease following an order from Texas Governor Greg Abbott in 2022. Abbott’s directive classified such surgeries as child abuse, a move that has also been made by state legislatures in several states.

The Houston state hospital ultimately discontinued its gender reassignment program after Texas lawmakers passed legislation prohibiting “gender affirming care” for minors in 2023.

Haim identified himself as the whistleblower in January 2023 in an effort to protect himself from retaliation by the Biden DOJ and the Department of Health and Human Services. Federal investigators had informed Haim in 2022 that he was the target of a criminal probe for allegedly failing to redact sensitive patient information when he came forward with the documents.

Haim discusses the case in an interview with the National Review.

“After understanding how far this corruption went, I had no other option but to take the story public and fight back,” Haim said. “If I don’t do this now, I’m going to pass on this conflict to my children. That’s something I will not tolerate.”

“There was this deep visceral part of me that knew exactly what was happening — that they were there because we had challenged the political ideology, and they were there to make an example out of me,” he added while describing the moment federal agents arrived at his home.

The dismissal of Haim’s case follows a string of pardons and Trump directives aimed at ending politically-motivated prosecutions and providing restitution for victims. In one of his first acts as president, Trump issued a full and unconditional pardon for all but a couple dozen January 6 protesters who were aggressively hunted and ultimately tried before D.C. juries. In the November election, more than 90 percent of D.C. residents voted for Vice President Harris, making the nation’s capital the most left-wing city in the country.

Trump also pardoned a number of pro-life protesters who were sentenced to lengthy prison terms for peacefully protesting inside abortion clinics.

In one instance, 75-year-old Paulette Harlow was sentenced to 24 months in prison for protesting inside a D.C. abortion clinic. When her husband asked the court for probation due to his wife’s advanced age — stating that she may die in prison — U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said, “maybe you should make an effort to remain alive because that is a tenet of your religion.”

The Biden DOJ targeted pro-life activists for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. Trump aggressively condemned the prosecutions and called for the policy to be amended when issuing the pardons on Friday.

He reported an ongoing criminal enterprise that was mutilating children, a crime in Texas.

Every government official who went after Haim for that, gone.

Good

Finally posted here. I read about this a few days ago. This doctor was looking at 10 years in jail - a CLASSIC political prosecution.

And, for you RINO-haters who like to ‘teach the GOP a lesson’ by sitting out elections, keep in mind that RINOs had NOTHING at all to do with this prosecution (other than maybe joining the other 90 or so Senators that confirmed Garland) - it was the Democrats that YOU HELPED ENABLE.

[metmom]

GOOD!

More winning.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said, “maybe you should make an effort to remain alive because that is a tenet of your religion.”

Wow. I guess the Judge showed us what kind of person she is.

[Ancesthntr]

Good!

[Jane Long]

MORE WINNING!!!!

[Blue Highway]

So how did he violate HIPPA laws just by whistleblowing about activities the Texas Governor already issued a cease and desist to the facility? Nothing was violated unless he mentioned specific patients right? The story doesn’t mention if he did or didn’t do this. I want more information.

Doctors don’t do transgender procedures only mad butchers do deformed bodies left over lives shattered.

“ Doctors don’t do transgender procedures only mad butchers do deformed bodies left over lives shattered.”
As I’ve said before, everyone at the hospital who is in involved in these minor mutilation surgeries should be arrested. Doctors, nurses and administrators. Every stinking one of them.

[Vaduz]

AGREE it must be stopped many those who have been under the treatment agree they can NEVER be as they were born.

It’s why the butchers go after the young so much they don’t understand the damages done.

[CptnObvious]

It’s why the butchers go after the young so much they don’t understand the damages done.

Children, thinking that they will get love, raise their hand and get a world of ongoing misery. Then they find out that those of the opposite sex they became are not welcoming them with open arms, is quite a shock that is not recovered from.

What would be the mortality rate be at 5 years, 6,7,8,9,10? I'll bet it would be shocking. Of course the normals will be gaslite to blame rather than the left be responsible for the whole miserable travesty on the nations youth that this is.

Errr no! He won only because of Trump. If he doesn’t admit that, he is a delusional ingrate.

Texas Ping, the Best State in the USA!

A ping out to the Texas Ping list, founded by Windflier.

Federal investigators had informed Haim in 2022 that he was the target of a criminal probe for allegedly failing to redact sensitive patient information when he came forward with the documents.

Just open a criminal case under HIPAA and never close it. That's how they shut their opponents up.

Another special Texas winter edition for your perusal.

As always, please FReepmail me if you want on or off the Texas Ping list.

Blessings, and stay warm!

I’m glad this case was dropped.

The gender care clinics in Texas were all about affirmation. I caught Genecis in a lie and never brought my child back.

My child had an incurable endocrine disorder that, if caught early, could have been treated; they ignored my concerns and gaslit me instead.

By the time I found a doctor willing to take me seriously, the damage had been done.

[Vaduz]

Agree some thrive on their power of mutilation no matter what the age is.
