Biden DOJ Indicts Texas Surgeon Who Exposed Gender Reassignment Surgeries For Minors

Dr. Eithan Haim, a surgeon who blew the whistle on gender reassignment procedures for minors Texas Children’s Hospital, has been indicted by Joe Biden’s Department of Justice.

Haim is facing four felony counts pertaining to an alleged breach of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), according to a report from Newsmax.

Last year, Haim leaked evidence anonymously to conservative journalist Christopher Rufo. Documents leaked by Haim revealed that the Texas Children’s Hospital was continuing its gender reassignment surgery program for minors despite being ordered to cease following an order from Texas Governor Greg Abbott in 2022. Abbott’s directive classified such surgeries as child abuse, as have dozens of state legislatures throughout the country.

The Houston state hospital ultimately discontinued its gender reassignment program after Texas lawmakers passed legislation prohibiting “gender affirming care” for minors in 2023.

Earlier this week, Haim’s home was raised by U.S. Marshals, who presented him with a court summons for HIPAA violations. The surgeon is set to appear in federal court on June 17.

“My client is anxious to get to trial to get his side of the story told,” Haim’s attorney, Marcella Burke, said in a statement to the National Review. “I am confident this will result in the correct decision being made.”

This past January, Haim identified himself as the Texas Children’s Hospital whistleblower in an effort to protect himself from retaliation by the Biden DOJ and the Department of Health and Human Services. Federal investigators had informed Haim last June that he was the target of a criminal probe for allegedly failing to redact sensitive patient information when he came forward with the documents.

“After understanding how far this corruption went, I had no other option but to take the story public and fight back,” Haim said. “If I don’t do this now, I’m going to pass on this conflict to my children. That’s something I will not tolerate.”

“There was this deep visceral part of me that knew exactly what was happening — that they were there because we had challenged the political ideology, and they were there to make an example out of me,” he added while describing the moment federal agents arrived at his home.

Rufo has emphasized that none of the documents shared with him by Haim had any sensitive or identifying information relating to patients, adding that the documents were heavily redacted.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Tina Ansari, leading the criminal investigation from the Southern District of Texas, is claiming that Haim had no right to share minors’ medical records, even though the hospital was in violation of a state directive.
