Biden DOJ Unseals Indictment Against Doctor Who Blew Whistle On Child Sex Changes

The Department of Justice (DOJ) unsealed an indictment Monday for a Texas surgeon who was charged after blowing the whistle on a children’s hospital performing sex change procedures on minors.

Dr. Eithan Haim was hit with a four-count indictment May 29 for allegedly obtaining and disclosing “personal information” about patients from the Texas Children’s Hospital’s (TCH) electronic system, according to the DOJ. The indictment alleges he obtained the information “under false pretenses and with intent to cause malicious harm to TCH.”

“In April 2023, Haim allegedly requested to re-activate his login access at TCH to access pediatric patients not under his care,” the DOJ’s news release states. “The indictment alleges he obtained unauthorized access to personal information of pediatric patients under false pretenses and later disclosed it to a media contact.”

Las Vegas jury delivers $3B award in bottled water lawsuit

A jury awarded $3 billion in punitive damages on Friday to eight plaintiffs who sued the Real Water bottled water company, which was tied to an outbreak of liver failures.

Attorney William Kemp, who represented the lead plaintiffs, said the billions in punitive damages represents the most money that has been awarded by a jury in Nevada. The verdict was delivered on Friday, at the end of a two-week trial.

The plaintiffs consisted of five young children and three adults who suffered from liver failure after consuming the product, marketed as alkalized water. Kemp said the children were all flown to a hospital in Salt Lake City for liver transplants, but they all avoided needing a transplant once they stopped drinking the bottled water.

The jury had also awarded the plaintiffs about $98 million in compensatory damages, Kemp said.

Trump urges supporters to choose VP in new fundraising email

“Patriot — do not listen to the fake news media,” the email says in all caps. “They have NO IDEA who my Vice President will be, because that will be decided by YOU.”

“The silent majority will be silent no longer! The Washington Swamp has done everything in its power to take away your voice, but now it’s finally YOUR TURN to have YOUR SAY,” it said.

“Democrats are doing what they do best. Trying to RIG THIS ELECTION by spreading LIE AFTER LIE AFTER LIE,” the email says. “I’m not making any final decisions until I hear from YOU!”

The links bring visitors to his fundraising website that allows his supporters to type in the name of the person they think should be his vice president. It also asks what issues the vice president should focus on, and gives options to choose from, including ending election interference, securing the border, eliminating the deep state, protecting parents’ rights and defeating communism/socialism, among others.

“The verdict is in. My next V.P. will be… DECIDED BY YOU! Cast your vote,” it reads.

FBI suddenly cancels Capitol Hill briefing on warrant-proof encryption

The two briefings, scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday, have been indefinitely delayed but no further details on the reason for the cancellation have been released. The FBI said it hopes to reschedule the briefings at a later date.

The FBI unexpectedly cancelled two briefings about encryption on Monday, which were scheduled for later this week, without offering any explanation.

The briefings were the second part of the FBI's series for Capitol Hill staffers titled "priority topics," and would have focused on how encryption has created challenges for the federal bureau when investigating “violent crimes against children and transnational organized crime,” per Politico. The first in the series was held last month, and focused on the fentanyl crisis.

The two briefings, scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday, have been indefinitely delayed but no further details on the reason for the cancellation have been released. The FBI said it hopes to reschedule the briefings at a later date.

“Regrettably, due to circumstances outside of the FBI’s control, the briefings on the FBI’s Efforts on Warrant-Proof Encryption which were originally scheduled for June 18th and June 20th, have been unexpectedly postponed,” an email announcing the cancellation said. “The FBI sees tremendous value in informing Congress on various issues and especially recognizes the importance of this particular topic, so we deeply apologize for any inconvenience to those who were planning to participate.”
