Prosecutor Trying to Jail Texas Children's Whistleblower Hadn't Reviewed the Evidence

AngieArtist

As we've reported, a surgeon from Texas Children's Hospital is facing up to 10 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine for blowing the whistle on doctors who continued to perform sex-change surgeries on minors after the hospital allegedly shut down its child gender clinic and Texas outlawed such "gender-affirming care." Another whistleblower was visited by the FBI after she came forward and said the hospital was committing Medicaid fraud. According to the FBI, Dr. Eithan Haim allegedly obtained personal information "under false pretenses and with intent to cause malicious harm to TCH."

So they're going after the whistleblower for violating HIPAA, not the doctors who were performing the surgeries and billing Medicaid.

Christopher Rufo has an update:

Madeleine Rowley writes for the City Journal:

Haim had anonymously sent City Journal’s Christopher Rufo documents proving that doctors at TCH were still prescribing hormone replacement therapy drugs and implanting puberty blockers in minor-age patients more than a year after the hospital announced it had stopped its pediatric gender-affirming care program. A month after Rufo published his article in May 2023, federal agents from the Department of Health and Human Services knocked on Haim’s door to let him know that he was a “potential target” in an investigation of alleged violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

According to a letter written by Haim’s lawyers, Assistant U.S. Attorney Tina Ansari admitted that she hadn’t reviewed the purported evidence against Haim and was instead relying on what FBI agents told her. In the same discussion, Ansari insisted that the documents Haim sent to Rufo included children’s names, but nothing in the documents Rufo saw identified any individuals. All were redacted. 

I thought the Left thought whistleblowers were heroes.

What about the hospital continuing to perform surgeries and committing Medicaid fraud? Does that hold any interest for the FBI?
