The Free Press reported on June 10 that Haim and his attorneys did not know the exact nature of the charges. The outlet paraphrased one of the surgeon’s attorneys, Mark Lytle, who said “it’s very unusual to bring felony charges for an alleged HIPAA violation unless there is a significant underlying crime, such as a hospital clerk selling a celebrity’s medical records.”
“The government is entering into the town square on the culture wars and didn’t like what Eithan had to say,” added Lytle, who suggested the DOJ’s effort appeared to be politically motivated. “I think they are looking to make an example of him.”
Haim, who is expecting his first child this fall, told the outlet he has no regrets.
“If we don’t fight back, what world are we delivering our children into?” he said.
According to the GiveSendGo created to help fund his legal bills, Haim and his wife have already spent their retirement, investments, savings, and “almost all of our disposable income … to keep the case alive.”
As of Monday evening, the campaign has raised over $630,000 toward a $1 million goal.
This Haim/Texas Children’s whistleblower case is beyond outrageous!!
Thanks for this additional info article.
This is definitely more lawfare from this lawless ByeDone DOJ.
And they are throwing the book at Haim to send a message to anyone else who goes against their evil ways and stands up for what is right.
They can’t get away with this!
