Trump DOJ drops case against doctor who exposed transgender treatment for minors

The Trump administration’s flurry of first-week legal actions included the dismissal of a Biden-era case against a doctor who blew the whistle on Texas Children’s Hospital for performing gender-change procedures on minors.

The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas granted Friday a motion by federal prosecutors to drop the case against Dr. Eithan Haim, who was charged with wrongful disclosure for leaking records in 2023 showing that the hospital continued to provide gender-transition drugs for children after saying it had stopped doing so.

The Burke Law Group, which represented the doctor, said the charges were dismissed with prejudice “so that the federal government can never again come after him for blowing the whistle on the secret pediatric transgender program.”
