DOJ charges Texas doctor after he blew the whistle on gender-affirming care for minors
SUMMARY
The Department of Justice has filed criminal charges against Dr. Eithan Haim, a whistleblower who exposed alleged secret gender-affirming care for minors at Texas Children's Hospital. Haim, accused of HIPAA violations and indicted on four felony charges, has vowed to fight back, accusing the DOJ of corruption. His attorney, Marcella Burke, expressed confidence in Haim's defense. Haim leaked documents to journalist Christopher Rufo, revealing the hospital's continued operations of its child gender clinic against state law. Following this, the Texas legislature banned transgender medical interventions on minors. Haim's court appearance is scheduled for June 10th to address the charges.
