Yes, you read that correctly! WE WON! 

On Friday January 24th, 2025, the DOJ submitted a motion to dismiss the case with prejudice and soon after it was signed by Judge Hittner. The fact that it is dismissed "with prejudice" means these charges can never be brought again. 

There are no words to express the depth of our gratitude for every single person who donated to our legal campaign and for every person who kept us in their prayers. 

The legal defense in total was a little over $2 million. At the moment of this update, we still owe about $800-900k. We plan on paying this off over time in monthly instalments and with any more donations we get through GSG.

We believe that in exchange for the generosity of everyone who joined in this fight, we owe a detailed explanation of what that money went towards. I hope this update serves that purpose. Of course, if there are any questions about the case, feel free to email me at eithanhaim@proton.me. To get an idea of the complexity of the legal case, my wife, Andrea, made a brilliant video which breaks down the essential points. 

First of all, my legal team, led by Marcella Burke at Burke Law Group, was made up of four attorneys and a paralegal who were working at discounted rates and underbilled by around 30%. Marcella probably only billed for about 25% of the time she actually spent working on this case. 

To get an idea about the massive scale of the legal case you can go to the docket - this is a public listing of all the motions and hearings. There are a total of 148 filings - each of these amounted to tens of thousands (some close to a hundred thousand) of dollars in legal work.

The complexity of this case begins with how they charged me. These were based on HIPAA and was brought in a way that was unprecedented. The legal research alone on the HIPAA statute and the DOJ's unconstitutional application of it was a massive cost. It is safe to say that one of my attorneys, Jeff Hall who did most of this research and most of the legal writing, is now the country's leading expert on HIPAA. 

The DOJ also brought indictments that were based on completely fabricated evidence (indictment #1) in addition to indictments that charged me with fake crimes and contained critical typos (indictment #2). For the DOJ this was no problem since they had unlimited resources and a corrupt judge who was willing to let them get away with it. But for us, it was devastating. Just to fight through the first indictment (evidence review, subpoenas, and witness examination) cost a few hundred thousand dollars.

Of course, this was no walk in the park because the supposed "victims" in the indictment were TCH and Baylor College of Medicine. This was the first time in American history HIPAA was used to protect billion-dollar medical institutions instead of the privacy of patients, the group the law is meant to protect. This meant the "victims" in the indictment (TCH and Baylor) were also the entities that held all the evidence that proved my innocence. They were also the ones who I blew the whistle on for lying about their transgender program and thus, had the greatest interest in me losing this case and going to prison. 

And they threw everything they had at us - every technicality, every delay tactic, every evasive maneuver, all of it draining our already limited financial resources. And if that wasn't bad enough, we found out the lead DOJ prosecutor, Tina Ansari, had such flagrant conflicts of interest with TCH and Baylor that it's hard to believe they were real. After we made this known to the DOJ, Ansari stepped down from the case. 

At this point in late November, early December 2024, our legal fees were approaching $2 million. But it was well worth it because we scored some major victories. We thought we might be close to the DOJ conceding defeat and dropping the case. But when we thought it couldn't get any worse, it did. 

The DOJ filed a motion for a gag order. Not only was this laughably unconstitutional but especially sinister because the only way I was able to fight back and raise money was by speaking out. The only means I had to sustain a legal defense was what they were trying to take away. We thought the Judge was going to laugh them out of court but in a shocking turn of events, he took the bait hook, line, and sinker.

Judge Hittner went even further and outdid the corruption of the DOJ and issued a de facto gag order. What this means is that he did not grant the gag order, nor did he deny it but threatened my attorneys with sanctions and me with jail if we continued to criticize the government. We were stuck between a rock and a hard place since we didn't have any money to appeal (we had to preserve our resources for trial), we were even further in debt because we had to fight against the gag order, and if I tried to raise any money by speaking out, I ran the risk of going to jail. 

At was at this point that my wife, Andrea, decided to speak out. She is a DOJ attorney herself (incidentally enough she holds the same position, assistant US attorney, as the former lead prosecutor, Tina Ansari) so she understood better than most how blatantly corrupt this prosecution had become.  Over the next month and a half, I remained silent while we were preparing for trial in February, sinking us even further in debt.

Then came the inauguration of President Trump and his Executive Order concerning DOJ weaponization, signed his first day in office. We thought there was no way the DOJ could continue on since their case was so clearly in violation of this order. But like so many other times, we were proven wrong. Behind the scenes they were escalating towards trial. 

On January 22 I decided to speak out. It was clear that there was nothing my attorneys could do, no argument they could make, since the DOJ and the Judge for so long had been operating well outside the boundaries of the law. Judge Hittner reaffirmed this corruption by threatening to send me to jail and moving the trial up to the following Monday, essentially destroying any possibility of a fair trial. 

My attorneys jumped into action and following an unbelievable series of events, the DOJ issued a motion to dismiss the case with prejudice two days later on January 24th, 2025. A few hours later the order was signed, and the case was officially over, never to be brought again. 

All of this was only able to happen because of the donations from everyone who gave to our legal fund. Every single dollar went towards achieving stunning legal victories and fighting against some of the worst corruption this country has ever seen. But this victory is not ours alone but one that belongs to all of us, because without all of you, this would never have been possible. Thank you.

At 7AM on the morning of June 4th, I woke up to three heavily armed US Marshalls at my door. They made no effort to conceal the show of force. I was being indicted by the United States Department of Justice with four federal felonies. 

For telling the truth, I am the one being charged. For believing that doctors should never lie to their patients and hospitals - especially children's hospitals - have a responsibility for maintaining the trust necessary in the doctor-patient relationship, I will be the defendant in the federal court room. 

I believe the reason they are doing this is clear. They want to send a message to any potential whistleblower - the punishment for telling the truth, for challenging the dominant political ideology, will be the heavy hand of the most powerful federal leviathan in human history. 

But the path forward is clear. We must go to court and win! We need to establish the precedent that the justice system cannot be weaponized against those who tell the truth in order to protect children. We have the best attorneys for this case with Burke Law Group, including Marcella Burke, Jeff Hall, and even Mark Lytle, who is representing Gary Shapley in the IRS whistleblower case with Hunter Biden. We estimate that the cost of trial is at least $500,000 and up to $1,000,000 - we will aim for the stars and hopefully land somewhere close. 

After the agents left Tuesday morning and finding out how much the trial was going to be, we were crushed. We are just average people, living in small-town Texas, and my wife Andrea is 22 weeks pregnant with our first daughter (her name is Talia!). But since Christopher Rufo released this story June 6th, the outpouring of support has been unbelievable.

The depth of our gratitude cannot be expressed by words. Therefore, I must express it in action. I will never give up. I will never dishonor the sacrifices for all of those who have given a part of themselves for this fight. We will face down those who target whistleblowers and we will win.

We want to express of deepest gratitude for everyone who has supported us so far. It is because of all of you that we have been able to carry on this fight. But I would like to update everyone on exactly how we intend to do that.

On January 24th, my attorneys sent a letter to Texas Representative Chip Roy and The Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan, outlining their discussions with the federal prosecutor who is responsible for this investigation. The letter can be found here.

Read it for yourself but what should be clear is that this investigation is a politically driven effort to silence me as a whistleblower. If they can prevent regular doctors and nurses from blowing the whistle on misconduct being perpetuated by the transgender industry in their hospitals, they will set a dangerous precedent that will reverberate across the entire healthcare system. The message will be clear - challenge the dominant transgender ideology and you will be targeted by the leviathan.

This is why we're taking the fight to Congress. We are working through whatever channels we can to ensure this issue is not forgotten, that this misconduct is pursued, and that accountability will be achieved. And it is only because of your donations is all that possible. If we want to deliver a better country for our children, it is fights like these that we cannot give up on. 

So, thank you again for all of your support! It means more than words can express. I also included a few recent articles and interviews that help tell story.

The outpouring of support has been beyond what we could have ever imagined. My wife and I have read every single comment left by every single person who donated. The strength we get from these messages is what keeps us going. The way we see it, every donation represents a discrete act of faith. Since all of you have placed your faith in us, we promise that we will never give up this fight. 

But we have to remember that everything is on the line. If we allow this precedent to be set - if we allow whistleblowers to be targeted in this way - one of the primary mechanisms for accountability within the medical system will be lost. And the irreversible harm perpetrated under the guise of "gender affirming care" will continue to occur behind closed doors. This is why all the support from those who have donated is so important. If we don't stand up now, what future will we be delivering our children into? 

I am also so thankful for all of those who have helped tell this story. Included below are a few of the people I have spoken with over the last two weeks. 

Sincerely, 

Eithan

Every donation represents a small act of resistance against those who want to abuse their authority and silence those who speak out. And the stakes are high. If we don't win, there will be no chance for regular doctors and nurses to the whistle without being crushed by corrupt federal agencies. For this reason, we will never bend the knee. 

The outpouring of support is more than we would have ever thought possible. It means more than we can express in words. Thank you all for everything!!!
