Trump Admin Drops Charges Against Whistleblower Who Exposed Transgender Surgeries on Kids

The Trump administration is set to drop the dismissal charges against a doctor who blew the whistle on transgender surgeries being performed on children at a Texas hospital.

Dr. Eithan Haim, a surgeon in Texas, obtained documents that proved that the Texas Children’s Hospital was secretly performing gender transition services, which he passed on to conservative journalist Christopher Rufo.

However, the Biden administration responded by filing charges against Haim for violating HIPAA privacy statutes

Haim celebrated the announcement that the charges would be dismissed.

“WE DID IT!!!! WE WON!!!!!!!” he wrote on social media.

“[My wife and I] had a decision to make,” Haim told The Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck last year.

“Do we try to fight back, or do we submit to the ideology and try to make it all go away?”

“We knew that we were going to have kids someday, and what kind of world would we be delivering them into if there’s not men and women in this world who are willing to sacrifice in order to deliver them to a better future?”

The surgeon faced 10 years in prison if he had been convicted, along with fines of up to $250,000.

“You raise [children] to have the virtues to have a good and fulfilling life,” but “this government is criminalizing those virtues; the justice system is protecting criminals going after the innocent; the medical system is creating sickness and going after the healthy; the education system is miseducating people. It’s like every institution is doing the opposite of what it’s meant to do,” Haim continued.

While Biden charged Haim with illegally obtaining sensitive health information, the fact is he was exposing the truth.

However, Both Haim and Rufo were careful to redact identifying information to protect patient privacy while exposing the trans surgery practices.

“I have maintained from day one that I have done nothing wrong. We’re going to fight this tooth and nail, stand up for whistleblowers everywhere,” said Haim in June.

Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw of Texas praised the decision, writing:

“Huge victory: The era of DOJ weaponization against whistleblowers—like @EithanHaim, who is saving children from radical transition surgeries—is over. I’m proud to have led this effort in Congress,” he wrote.
