🎉CASE AGAINST DR. EITHAN HAIM DISMISSED! When this case started a year and a half ago, Texas Children's Hospital was mutilating and sterilizing young children while hiding it from the public. Literally hundreds of people knew it was happening. Some even thought it was wrong, but were so morally weak that they performed the surgeries anyway. @EithanHaim was the only person with the courage to stand up for what was right. For him, it wasn't even a decision. Kids were being harmed, and he had to stop it. Because of Eithan and @realchrisrufo, the Texas Legislature voted to save untold numbers of children in the State of Texas from the horrific consequences of transgender medical experimentation. It came at great personal cost. Between the two of us, we have had hundreds of sleepless nights worried that he would go to federal prison for 10 years. We are completely broke. He was forced to leave me and his newborn baby daughter in the hospital an hour after I had an emergency c-section to make a court appearance in Houston. But if you ask either of us, we would do it again in a heartbeat. Because of Eithan, the world is a better place for children, including our daughter. There is no greater gift we can give her than the knowledge that her daddy is a hero. I will have a lot more to say about what happened. The last few days have been terrifying. Eithan was a hair's breadth away from federal jail and a show trial that would make Stalin blush - all because he spoke out on X. But for now, we are going to end this ordeal the same way we started it. The first day the federal agents came to our home on the day of his graduation in June 2023, we didn't cower in fear. We sat on the balcony, drank champagne, and planned our war strategy. Today is for celebrating, tomorrow is for accountability. 🍾

🚨This is the new acting US Attorney for the Southern District of Texas, Jennifer Lowery. She and her district are still weaponizing the DOJ in contravention of President Trump's Day 1 executive order. They are continuing the corrupt and insane prosecution of my husband @EithanHaim for blowing the whistle on Texas Children's Hospital's secret transgender program. Not only have they refused to drop the case, in the last few days, they have ACCELERATED their prosecution ahead of trial on Feb 10. They are attempting to bleed us dry, and make no mistake, they will try to take him to trial and put him in prison for 10 years if they aren't stopped. The President's order specifically calls out the Biden DOJ's weaponized persecution of those who criticized their policies (which included their unwavering support for transgender procedures on children). He ordered a review of DOJ and FBI actions to determine whether any of their actions are contrary to the "purposes and policies of this order." No reasonable person can see this case as anything other than a blatant, malicious, and illegal weaponized prosecution. And you don't have to take my word for it - the chairman of the weaponization committee @Jim_Jordan, @chiproytx, @tedcruz, @HawleyMO, @DanCrenshawTX and many of others have called it what it is. Eithan's case goes to trial in just 3 weeks unless the Southern District of Texas or someone above them does the right thing. Although I am confident he would be vindicated at trial, the fact that it even got this far is a testament to how unfair the process has been (see also my posting on the unconstitutional de facto gag order). Eithan will risk federal prison for 10 years, losing years of his life with his new daughter, and having his medical license taken away. Every day this prosecution continues drives us even deeper into bankruptcy. President Trump may be in office, but for now, the weaponization of the federal government is still very much alive.

A brief review of what was simultaneously the best and one of the worst years of my life since my husband @EithanHaim was targeted by the DOJ for blowing the whistle on Texas Children’s Hospital’s secret transgender program. Hard to believe it all happened in 2024.🧵(1/6) https://t.co/kYnBIi31Q8
@AndreaCohenHaim - Andrea Haim
(2/6) BEST: It has been the privilege of a lifetime to stand up for children and the whistleblowers who protect them. Eithan began 2024 by taking his story public when he was under investigation. He exposed what happened to kids at Texas Children’s and the consequences he faced for blowing the whistle. We’ve defied odds and won huge victories against a malicious federal prosecution intended to silence Eithan and punish him for exposing the truth. We saw the very best of humanity and experienced an outpouring of support that I would have never thought possible. I can never express what it means to us that so many have given their platforms, money, prayers, and support. And most importantly, our beautiful daughter Talia was born in September, right in the middle of the storm. She gave us the strength to keep fighting, because we knew it was all to create a better world for her.
@AndreaCohenHaim - Andrea Haim
(3/6) WORST: But this year was hard. The day Eithan was indicted, 3 heavily armed US Marshals showed up at our house at 7am. I was 6 months pregnant and we had just moved into a new house 2 days before. We drove to Houston a few days later for his arraignment where he plead not guilty to felony charges that carried up to 10 years in federal prison. Also present in the courtroom were accused drug traffickers, child pornographers, and others in orange jumpsuits and chains. A chilling reminder of what Eithan was facing. Unlike most defendants, we literally didn’t understand what crime he was even accused of. 10 years for “accessing” HIPAA information? When he was a doctor who had access to those records because he was treating patients? It didn’t make sense. There was no precedent for it.
@AndreaCohenHaim - Andrea Haim
(4/6) The day Talia was born, I had an emergency C-section. Eithan stayed with me through surgery and held the baby for about an hour before he had no choice but to go to Houston. He had a court appearance the next day while Talia and I recovered in the hospital. All the love and happiness I felt that day was marred by fear for the future and anger at what the prosecutors put us through. I will never forget it.
@AndreaCohenHaim - Andrea Haim
(5/6) Over the next few months, we learned that the government ignored key exonerating evidence and invented new HIPAA law. Their indictments were thrown out *twice* - first because the evidence contradicted their entire theory of the case, and second because of serious legal errors including typos and adding language not in the statute. But still, the DOJ dug in. We then learned that lead prosecutor who tormented my family for over a year, who at one time was prosecuting Eithan without a valid law license, had serious financial and personal conflicts with Texas Children’s.
@AndreaCohenHaim - Andrea Haim
(6/6) But just as these conflicts were coming to light, and just as the DOJ was getting hosed in court because of their embarrassingly defective indictments — they moved for a gag order and the judge sort of imposes one. It is oddly fitting that an egregious limitation of his first amendment rights topped off a year that began with Eithan bravely going public in his own defense. I don’t know what 2025 will bring, but I’m hopeful for a brighter tomorrow. Thank you to all who have supported us this year. May we all find peace in the new year.

Recently unsealed evidence shows that the DOJ and FBI had evidence of my husband’s (@eithanhaim) innocence 10 months before they indicted him, but they ignored it and did it anyway. 🧵 As reported by Fox News today (@kendall_tietz), the court unsealed two key pieces of evidence that were previously attached to a defense motion. This is the first time the public can see some of the documents that upend the DOJ’s entire theory of the case. For context, when Eithan was indicted back in June, the DOJ’s case was that he was officially assigned to another hospital at the time, and allegedly had “no reason” to be accessing Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) medical records. The evidence shows they were so wrong that I honestly can’t explain it other than monumental incompetence (or, of course, bad faith). (1) On August 30, 2023, TCH, through its counsel BakerHostetler, wrote a letter to HHS regarding its investigation of the alleged HIPAA breach at TCH. In it, they state unequivocally, Eithan “had approved and authorized access to TCH’s [electronic medical records]” and “TCH’s policies and procedures were followed” when he was granted access by the hospital. They also showed that he was providing coverage for patients at TCH during the relevant time period. (2) The DOJ’s indictment apparently relied on testimony from a plastic surgeon, Dr. Larry Hollier, that Eithan had “no documented reason to access the TCH system.” Hollier never met Eithan, wasn’t even in the same specialty, and his statements were obviously contradicted by TCH’s letter. Btw, this guy also happens to sit on the board of TCH. After being forced to acknowledge that Eithan was actually treating patients at TCH, the DOJ basically conceded that they presented false information to the grand jury. Oops! But they want us (and the court) to believe that it’s all totally fine because they say they didn’t do so “knowingly.” One would think that presenting false information to a grand jury, whether knowingly or unknowingly, would force the DOJ to scrap this case like the garbage it is. Especially when that information is central to their theory of the case. But no! They’re doubling down. They have gotten two more indictments since then on increasingly insane legal theories. And just as this was being exposed, they moved to gag Eithan from talking about it. That’s why I’m speaking out. See below for details (1/5). https://foxnews.com/media/texas-transgender-care-whistleblowers-lawyers-believe-unsealed-court-docs-prove-doj-never-had-case

(2/5) DOJ claims that Eithan accessed the system "without authorization", but TCH’s own letter to HHS states unambiguously that he was authorized.
@AndreaCohenHaim - Andrea Haim
(3/5) DOJ claims that Eithan requested access to TCH records under “false pretenses.” They initially said this was because he had no patients at TCH. But TCH’s own internal investigation showed that he did, and they communicated that to HHS.
@AndreaCohenHaim - Andrea Haim
(4/5) They admitted that their indictment was based on the testimony of Dr. Larry Hollier, a plastic surgeon (different specialty) who never even met Eithan. He said Eithan had no “documented reason” to be accessing the records at TCH…but again, TCH said something different to HHS. Obviously his testimony was factually incorrect, and DOJ ignored the contradicting evidence. And the three people at Hollier’s interview were the same people who knew (or should have known) of TCH’s HHS letter for 10 months: Tina Ansari (former DOJ lead prosecutor), Paul Nixon (FBI agent), and TCH’s counsel (BakerHostetler).
@AndreaCohenHaim - Andrea Haim
(5/5) As Eithan’s counsel wrote in his opposition brief to the gag order, “the original indictment was founded on lies that in other situations would be actionable slander.” And those lies continue to plague the case today, as the minimal Second Superseding Indictment still contains the allegation that Eithan accessed information under “false pretenses.” There's the famous quote from Stalin's head of secret police: “show me the man, I’ll show you the crime.” That’s what this case has been from the beginning. The DOJ and FBI had information in their possession that disproved their entire case all along, but ignored it in order to send a man to prison for 10 years.
@AndreaCohenHaim - Andrea Haim
The only reason we can expose the corruption in this case is through the hard work of Eithan's counsel. Every win costs tens or even hundreds of thousands. Please consider making a donation (or just sending prayers) to Eithan's legal defense fund! https://www.givesendgo.com/texas_whistleblower

My husband’s (@EithanHaim) First Amendment rights may be under attack by a de facto gag order – but mine are not. 🧵1/7 On Dec 3, the judge threatened Eithan with FEDERAL PRISON and his attorneys with sanctions if they continue to post so-called “inflammatory” content on X about the DOJ’s corruption in this case. He didn’t grant or deny the gag order, but kept the government’s motion “live” pending trial in February. This is arguably worse and serves two purposes. (1) The court’s instruction to avoid “similar conduct” leaves unclear what kind of speech represents a violation (presumably that which the DOJ doesn’t like? see below) and what the consequences would be – imposition of a gag order merely being one of them. (2) By leaving the matter undecided, the court is shielded from public criticism and appellate review (where it would likely be overturned as unconstitutional in the Fifth Circuit). As a result of this “non-gag gag order,” the onus is on the defense to muzzle themselves. It’s an unconstitutional prior restraint of someone who needs free speech the most: the criminal defendant David facing a corrupt government Goliath. I was not planning on speaking publicly about this case. I’m a private person, and I don’t really use social media. But Eithan’s X posts have been the only way he has been able to raise funds for a legal defense and expose the DOJ’s blatant corruption over the last year and a half. As a wife and attorney, I can’t sit by while they extinguish the light he’s shone on this case, particularly as newly unsealed evidence proves that this case was malicious all along (more on that later!).

2/7 As background, Eithan is the whistleblower who exposed in a report with @realchrisrufo that Texas Children’s Hospital was lying to the public about the existence of its transgender program for children. They were implanting puberty blockers on kids as young as 11 and hiding it from the public. He is currently facing 4 felony charges on a made-up, baseless HIPAA theory. The DOJ’s case is falling apart for both legal and non-legal reasons (see @EdWhelanEPPC’s and @AndrewCMcCarthy’s excellent reporting on this in the National Review). Everyone should read this recent article from Tom Bartlett at the Free Press (@TheFP). His thorough reporting really captures what this case is about and what it has been like to live with it. https://www.thefp.com/p/biden-prosecution-eithan-haim-gender-care-childrens-hospital-transitions
@AndreaCohenHaim - Andrea Haim
3/7 Since January 2024, Eithan has been vocal on X about the corruption we've experienced since the government first showed up to our home in June 2023. Most recently, he’s been posting about the prosecutors’ failures using screenshots of public motions and transcripts, including a motion to dismiss hearing where they really embarrassed themselves. He also posted about serious financial and personal conflicts held by the former lead prosecutor, Tina Ansari (link below). Great reporting from @kendall_tietz. https://www.foxnews.com/media/doj-lead-attorney-prosecuting-trans-medicine-whistleblower-taken-off-case-over-apparent-conflict-interest
@AndreaCohenHaim - Andrea Haim
4/7 His lawyers at Burke Law Group have been vigorously defending his First Amendment rights. In their opposition to the gag order, they called it “the culmination of an abusive and incompetent prosecution and a bad faith attempt to shield the prosecutors from mounting criticism.” Absolutely. @X and @Not_the_Bee (represented by @pnjaban) also sought to intervene in this case, recognizing the serious First Amendment issues at stake, but the judge denied their motions.
@AndreaCohenHaim - Andrea Haim
5/7 So what sort of *horrifying* posts are they concerned about? Among other things, Eithan called them “corrupt,” “incompetent,” “modern-day woke aristocrats,” who were “inventing criminal law.” The DOJ “will run cover for those who harm children and target those who tell the truth.” He said they want to “intimidate [me] into silence” and pointed out that the DOJ had to “rescind [its] initial indictment after having to admit its allegations were completely false.” I should add, by the way, that what Eithan is saying is true, he provides the publicly available evidence to back it up, and most importantly, his opinions are his right to express. I would even say he’s charitable given the failure of multiple indictments, numerous factual and proofreading errors, and the sudden disappearance of lead prosecutor Tina Ansari after her deep ties to Texas Children’s were exposed.
@AndreaCohenHaim - Andrea Haim
6/7 The DOJ’s presentation of the so-called "inflammatory" X posts was so absurd that there was audible LAUGHTER in the courtroom, including at a post from one of Eithan’s attorneys which referred to the “bungling, illicit, twitching pile of catastrophe that this [case] is.” lol. True. Another where @KyleSeraphin said “the number of effeminate clowns at DOJ who blatantly engage in bad faith legal work is stunning.” And where @feelsdesperate called the prosecutorial team “a clown car of incompetent midwits.” The government also cited @MikeBenzCyber who referred to "Merrick's Mafia running a crime department." 😂😂😂 Adding to the absurdity, the prosecutors seemed to not realize or care that the laughter was directed at them. I would have laughed even harder if it weren't for the fact that my husband is facing a decade in federal prison because of those clowns and midwits.
@AndreaCohenHaim - Andrea Haim
7/7 Freedom of speech is a sacred right. Eithan’s ability to criticize the government’s case, to expose the facts of their corruption, and to show the public what’s going on is the only way we’ve made it this far. To take that away is to rob him of his constitutional rights and to push this case back into darkness. I won’t let that happen. I’ll be posting more updates.
