US Justice Department drops case against Texas doctor charged with leaking transgender care data

Federal prosecutors have dropped the case against a Texas doctor who called himself a whistleblower on transgender care for minors and was accused of illegally obtaining private information on patients who weren’t under his care. The dismissal of the case against Dr. Eithan Haim in U.S. district court in Houston on Friday comes as the Trump administration in its first week has already issued executive orders rolling back transgender rights. Federal prosecutors had said that Haim, a 34-year-old surgeon, took the information and shared it with a conservative activist with “intent to cause malicious harm” to Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, one of the nation’s largest pediatric hospitals.
