The case against the complainant of Transgender Medicine, Dr. Eithan Haim, was dismissed with prejudice on Friday after a legal battle of months.
“The United States finally agreed to leave the case against Dr. Haim, and the court has just granted the dismissal,” said Marcella Burke, Eithan Haim lawyer. Fox News Digital. “The case has been dismissed with prejudice so that the federal government can never go after him for blowing the whistle in the Secret Pediatric program transgender at the Children’s Hospital of Texas.”
Haim was the subject of a ongoing criminal case Brought by the Department of Justice of Biden (DOJ) after he leaked documents to the media that revealed that Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston was carrying out transgender medical procedures in minors until May 2023. The previous year, after the attorney general of Texas, Ken Paxton, ruled that he constituted child abuse according to state law.
The court ruling “completely claims Dr. Haim,” Burke said. “We thank all those who helped on the way to bring to light this massive injustice, and we are grateful to ensure this victory in the name of our client.”
“The fight against the evils he explained continues, but this dismissal represents a repudiation of the Federal Police weapon and the first step in the responsibility of the misdeeds that we have all witnessed in this case.”
According to the reports, the dismissal occurred after Senator Josh Hawley, Mo-Mo Republican. He spoke with the leadership of Trump’s DOJ about the case, urging them to “immediately stop the minor prosecution in Texas,” Hawley wrote in X. “It should be grateful, not processed.”
“After my call this morning, I am delighted to report that Trump’s doj is now moving to dismiss this illegitimate prosecution,” Hawley announced in x A few hours later.
Haim was a resident at Baylor College of Medicine from June 2018 to June 2023 and worked at the Texas Children’s Hospital during part of his residence. In one piece published In the city magazine of the Manhattan Institute, Haim said that three days after the announcement that transgender medical procedures had been arrested, a surgeon implemented a hormonal device in an 11 -year -old girl who was experiencing gender dysphoria. Then, in the course of next year, Haim said that several colleagues told him that they implanted devices that block puberty in minors that identify transgender.
The Doj prosecutors alleged that Haim’s medical records sent to Chris Rufo de City Journal were published with the names of the children, but Haim’s lawyers claim that all the patient’s information was written. The Department of Justice accused the charges that it violated the Law on Portability and Responsibility of Health Insurance (Hipaa), which protects patient health information and gives them rights over their health records.
In particular, Hipaa regulations allow the dissemination of protected information to stop atrocious medical behavior. Haim said his wife spent more than $ 200,000 fighting the Department of Justice.
Among the original accusation of May 29 to the second accusation on October 10, the Department of Justice changed part of its language, eliminating any mention of information “protected by hypaa” and changed the victims of the alleged damage caused by the actions of Haim of “Physicans and Patient of TCH”. to “Tch and its doctors”.
Fox News Digital previously reported In December, the prosecutor who directs the position against Haim had been challenged from the case after the information revealed an important conflict of interests with respect to the participation of his family in the hospital system.
In addition, according to the lawyers of the case and the judicial documents reviewed by Fox News Digital, the Department of Justice was in possession of information that refuted Hipaa’s violations from the beginning.
The Department of Justice originally said that Haim did not provide attention to patients with TCH after 2021, which was used as a basis for his statements that Haim had no reasons to access patients’ records, but not selected documents. refute this statementAccording to Haim’s lawyers.
