Dr. Eithan Haim, who now faces federal charges for exposing Texas hospital for conducting gender-affirming care procedures on kids, said he is convinced the charges are political.
A Texas surgeon who has been indicted on four felony federal charges after exposing a hospital that allegedly secretly conducted gender-affirming care on minors said he has 'no doubt' that the indictment is political intimidation. 'There's no doubt, because that's what they told us,' Dr. Eithan Haim told Fox News' Laura Ingraham on Monday.
Last week, U.S. marshals entered Haim's home, handed him a summons and told him to face the indictments in court. Haim told Ingraham there's a 'remarkable amount' of money involved in gender-affirming care procedures and such clinics capitalize on 'vulnerable, confused' kids to keep the programs going. 'What you created is a chronic medical patient for the rest of their lives,' he said, remarking on the harms of puberty blockers and surgeries.
