Unsealed court documents in the transgender whistleblower case indicate the DOJ was in possession of information that disproved the HIPAA violations from the start, according to lawyers on the case and court documents reviewed by Fox News Digital.
Dr. Eithan Haim has been the subject of an ongoing criminal case brought by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) after he leaked documents to the media that revealed Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) in Houston was performing transgender medical procedures on minors through May 2023, despite the fact that hospital leadership announced it had stopped providing sex-change surgeries and puberty blockers the year before.
Fox News Digital reviewed documents unsealed by the court on December 6, the same day it denied Haim’s lawyer’s motion to dismiss the case altogether. Now, the case will go to trial in mid-February.
