President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a motion to drop charges Friday against a Texas doctor who blew the whistle on sex change procedures for minors.
Former President Joe Biden’s DOJ charged Dr. Eithan Haim with violating medical privacy law by leaking records to the press showing that Texas Children’s Hospital was giving the procedures to kids despite announcing it had stopped. Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri said he had personally urged the Trump administration to stop the case Friday, shortly before the DOJ’s court filing.
“I have spoken today with Trump DOJ leadership & strongly urged them to immediately stop the Biden Admin’s malicious prosecution of @EithanHaim, the brave whistleblower who exposed illegal gender transition surgeries on minors in Texas,” Hawley said on X. “He should be thanked, not prosecuted.”
Haim, who was scheduled to go to trial in February, told the Daily Caller News Foundation that doctors like him should not face charges for the sake of “the political interests of major hospital systems” in a phone interview Thursday.
“What they want to do is bleed us dry in order to get me to plead to some bullshit fucking agreement, which I’m definitely not going to do,” Haim told the DCNF. “If they get me to do that, all of this goes away and it legitimizes their corruption.”
