Trump dismisses charges against doctor who exposed secret transgender surgeries on minors

  • Federal charges against Dr. Eithan Haim, a whistleblower who exposed secret transgender medical procedures on minors at a Houston hospital, were dismissed by Trump’s DOJ.
  • The Biden administration had pursued felony charges, accusing Haim of HIPAA violations, but critics called it a politically motivated attempt to silence dissent.
  • Haim revealed Texas Children’s Hospital continued gender-affirming procedures for minors despite publicly claiming to halt them, prompting Texas AG Ken Paxton to label such practices as child abuse.

President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has dismissed federal charges against Dr. Eithan Haim, a Texas whistleblower who exposed a Houston hospital’s secret transgender medical procedures on minors. The Biden administration had pursued felony charges against Haim, accusing him of violating federal privacy laws, but critics argue the case was a politically motivated attempt to silence a doctor who sought to protect children from irreversible medical interventions.

The dismissal, approved by U.S. District Judge David Hittner on Friday, comes just weeks before Haim’s trial was set to begin. The case has sparked national outrage, with many viewing it as an example of the Biden administration’s overreach in targeting individuals who challenge its policies.

A doctor’s fight for transparency

Dr. Eithan Haim, a former resident at Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH), revealed in 2023 that the hospital was secretly performing “gender-affirming” surgeries and administering puberty blockers to minors, despite publicly claiming it had halted such procedures in 2022. Haim’s disclosures, published by journalist Christopher Rufo in City Journal, prompted Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to declare such practices a form of child abuse under state law.

The Biden DOJ indicted Haim on four felony counts, alleging he violated the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) by accessing patient records under false pretenses. However, Haim’s legal team argued that he had meticulously redacted all patient-identifying information and that his actions were protected under whistleblower provisions.

“The United States has finally agreed to drop the case against Dr. Haim, and the Court just granted dismissal,” said Marcella Burke, Haim’s attorney. “This dismissal represents a repudiation of the weaponization of federal law enforcement and the first step in accountability for the misdeeds we have all witnessed in this case.”

Biden’s overreach vs. Trump’s justice

The Biden administration’s pursuit of Haim drew sharp criticism from conservatives and medical professionals, who argue that the government should prioritize protecting children over advancing controversial medical practices. Critics accused the administration of using federal resources to intimidate whistleblowers and suppress dissent.

In contrast, Trump’s DOJ moved swiftly to dismiss the charges, signaling a return to a justice system that values transparency and accountability. “We took on the most powerful federal leviathan in human history and won!” Haim told Fox News Digital. “This is credit to the power of truth and justice being able to destroy lies and corruption.”

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), who urged the Trump DOJ to drop the case, celebrated the decision, calling it a victory for whistleblowers and a rebuke of the Biden administration’s “malicious prosecution.”

Haim’s case highlights the ongoing national debate over the ethics of transgender medical procedures for minors. Critics argue that such interventions, including puberty blockers and surgeries, are experimental and can cause irreversible harm to children.

Texas Children’s Hospital, one of the largest pediatric facilities in the U.S., had publicly stated it would cease providing these procedures after Paxton’s 2022 ruling. However, Haim’s revelations showed the hospital continued the practices in secret, raising questions about accountability in the medical community.

The dismissal of charges against Dr. Eithan Haim marks a significant victory for whistleblowers and a blow to the Biden administration’s efforts to suppress dissent. Haim’s courage in exposing dangerous medical practices has not only vindicated him but also sparked a broader conversation about the ethical boundaries of pediatric care.
