CHR - 'Gender Affirming Care' For Minors Whistleblower Dr. Eithan Haim

TOP LINE

A Biden-era Health and Human Services Memo was a ‘greenlight’ to target those who opposed the administration’s policies on gender affirming care, according to the Texas Children’s Hospital whistleblower.

It’s now in the hands of the Trump DOJ to seek accountability for alleged misconduct.

DEEP DIVE

This week the Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) whistleblower, Dr. Eithan Haim attended the Joint Session of Congress as the guest of GOP Senator Josh Hawley.  

While criminal charges against Dr. Haim for allegedly violating patient privacy laws were dropped in January, and cannot be brought again in the future; there is no public accountability for the Biden-era Justice Department officials who brought the case. 

Dr. Haim said he disclosed hospital records with patient names redacted to show gender affirming care continued at TCH after the hospital said it paused the program.

In our recent investigation “Government Malpractice,” the Haims told us lawfare pressures defendants into guilty pleas when they are innocent.  The government always has the advantage because the Justice Department has unlimited resources.   

The Haims said the alleged misconduct by Biden-era prosecutors cost them two million dollars in legal fees in addition to the emotional and personal hardship.

“We were changing what we were doing because we were so broke,” Dr. Haim said. “And if you get grinded down to a certain point and you have no other option, it's either go to trial and then suffer possibly a longer sentence or plead to something even though you're innocent.”

Two years before Dr. Haim was indicted, our investigation revealed the Biden-era Health and Human Services Department sent a memo with guidance for investigating those who blocked or restricted gender affirming care. 

We are sharing the HHS Memo from the Department’s Office of Civil Rights so you can make your own assessment.  Dr. Haim and his wife Andrea, who is a DOJ prosecutor in her own right, believe the HHS memo was direct pressure from Washington.  

They both called the HHS memo a “greenlight” to target those who challenged the controversial policy.
