Dr. Eithan Haim, the surgeon who blew the whistle on Texas Children’s Hospital providing transgender procedures and drugs to minors testified to Congress on Wednesday about the Biden administration’s failed criminal prosecution against him.
Back in 2023, Haim went to the media anonymously and exposed the Houston Children’s Hospital for secretly continuing to perform transgender medical procedures on children despite the hospital’s public statements saying they had paused them.
Those procedures reportedly included the hospital inserting a “drug delivery implant” for “gender dysphoria” into the arm of an 11-year-old girl as well as multiple other children 15 and younger.
“They not only continued their program. They expanded it. All this was happening behind closed doors,” Haim testified Wednesday to the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government.
“For exposing this truth my own government manufactured a case to send me to prison for 10 years,” he said.

Two armed federal agents showed up to Haim’s home on his graduation day for his surgical residency, Haim said.
The Biden Justice Department charged Haim with four felonies related to HIPAA.
In January, just after President Donald Trump took office, the Justice Department dropped the charges against Haim. He had been slated to go on trial in February.
“This was a political witch hunt,” Haim told lawmakers.
“From the very beginning, I knew this was nothing more than a charade,” he said. “I knew this because I never violated HIPAA. I never accessed the records of transgender patients or released any identifiable information. All of it was fully redacted, de-identified hospital data, which is used every single day to report infectious disease outbreaks like measles or conduct retrospective research studies.”
Tina Ansari, the associate U.S. Attorney who was prosecuting Haim admitted to Haim’s attorneys that she had not reviewed the evidence before sending federal agents to his home, Haim told lawmakers.
“She didn’t even know what statute she was investigating,” Haim said.
“Ansari threatened my wife, who had just been hired as an associate U.S. attorney in Dallas,” Haim said.
Haim’s attorney, Mark Lytle, who also testified on Wednesday, said Ansari had implied to him that she would not interfere in Haim’s wife’s legal career “unless she became difficult.”
“I didn’t really know what that meant, but I took it to mean a retaliatory phrase, that if she’s going to be involved in this then there’s going to be something that’s going to come for her too,” Lytle said.
The initial indictment accused Haim of hacking into the hospital’s electronic medical records system, which Haim called “pure fiction.”
“The DOJ’s own evidence, their own evidence that they gave us in discovery disproved every single one of the claims against us,” he said. “Ansari and her team either never reviewed this evidence or they ignored it.”
Later it was discovered that Ansari’s family had “quite the special relationship” with the hospital, Haim said, and Ansari was later removed from the case due to her conflict of interest.
“This can’t be the end of it. There has to be accountability when the unlimited resources of the federal government are used to destroy the lives of ordinary American citizens.”
Also testifying on Wednesday was Vanessa Sivadge, the former nurse at Texas Children’s Hospital who also became a whistleblower on the transgender practices on children.
