░░░░░░░░ to prosecutors HERRIDGE on ░░░░░░░░ I d like you ░░░░░░░░ walk us through this ░░░░░░░░ from Texas Children s ░░░░░░░░ I m looking at ░░░░░░░░ ages here 15 13 ░░░░░░░░ 14 12 11 E ░░░░░░░░ I spent a lot ░░░░░░░░ time taking care of ░░░░░░░░ sick kids at Texas ░░░░░░░░ s Hospital But in ░░░░░░░░ same operating rooms I ░░░░░░░░ out that they re ░░░░░░░░ perfectly healthy children right ░░░░░░░░ medications into their body ░░░░░░░░ them down this road ░░░░░░░░ turn them into chronic ░░░░░░░░ patients HERRIDGE on camera ░░░░░░░░ first indictment is May ░░░░░░░░ 2024 The second indictment ░░░░░░░░ October The third indictment ░░░░░░░░ November A HAIM This ░░░░░░░░ absolutely speaking to the ░░░░░░░░ that this prosecution they ░░░░░░░░ trying any way that ░░░░░░░░ could to manufacture an ░░░░░░░░ out of non existent ░░░░░░░░ E HAIM They were ░░░░░░░░ to do anything possible ░░░░░░░░ make me pay for ░░░░░░░░ I did HERRIDGE on ░░░░░░░░ The allegation is that ░░░░░░░░ violated patient privacy yet ░░░░░░░░ I read the indictment ░░░░░░░░ Justice Department identifies patients ░░░░░░░░ their initials So who ░░░░░░░░ violating patient privacy here ░░░░░░░░ HAIM I think there ░░░░░░░░ a strong argument to ░░░░░░░░ that it was the ░░░░░░░░ HERRIDGE on camera Was ░░░░░░░░ a lifeline E HAIM ░░░░░░░░ of all there s ░░░░░░░░ whistleblowing without X The ░░░░░░░░ reason I blew the ░░░░░░░░ is because I believed ░░░░░░░░ people would hear this ░░░░░░░░ It was because they ░░░░░░░░ trying to crush us ░░░░░░░░ we worked so hard ░░░░░░░░ let them not crush ░░░░░░░░ HERRIDGE on camera Tell ░░░░░░░░ about that moment when ░░░░░░░░ learned the criminal prosecution ░░░░░░░░ over A HAIM To ░░░░░░░░ that it s finally ░░░░░░░░ that Eithan was safe ░░░░░░░░ that he was going ░░░░░░░░ be with us you ░░░░░░░░ for the next several ░░░░░░░░ I think was just ░░░░░░░░ indescribable relief E HAIM ░░░░░░░░ s one of those ░░░░░░░░ like when you hear ░░░░░░░░ you know your wife ░░░░░░░░ pregnant for the first ░░░░░░░░ or you get bad ░░░░░░░░ you know from you ░░░░░░░░ someone in your family ░░░░░░░░ s hurt right those ░░░░░░░░ moment that you ll ░░░░░░░░ remember where

░░░░░░░░ care for minors Dr ░░░░░░░░ was accused of violating ░░░░░░░░ privacy laws by the ░░░░░░░░ Justice Department We spoke ░░░░░░░░ to Dr HAIM and ░░░░░░░░ wife in Washington D ░░░░░░░░ just days after the ░░░░░░░░ were dropped E HAIM ░░░░░░░░ know she kind of ░░░░░░░░ my name and I ░░░░░░░░ it was either going ░░░░░░░░ be really good or ░░░░░░░░ bad And she comes ░░░░░░░░ the room and I ░░░░░░░░ see on her face ░░░░░░░░ the case was dismissed ░░░░░░░░ was signed by the ░░░░░░░░ I said you know ░░░░░░░░ s over you know ░░░░░░░░ s over You know ░░░░░░░░ love you And I ░░░░░░░░ her a hug I ░░░░░░░░ her a kiss We ░░░░░░░░ held each other for ░░░░░░░░ long time and so ░░░░░░░░ we had gone through ░░░░░░░░ that moment HERRIDGE on ░░░░░░░░ Were there tears E ░░░░░░░░ Of course It s ░░░░░░░░ s indescribable because you ░░░░░░░░ so much You go ░░░░░░░░ so much pain and ░░░░░░░░ And then all of ░░░░░░░░ sudden one second later ░░░░░░░░ go from facing 10 ░░░░░░░░ in prison losing everything ░░░░░░░░ then it s over ░░░░░░░░ on camera I have ░░░░░░░░ court order here I ░░░░░░░░ to read it to ░░░░░░░░ the United States of ░░░░░░░░ v Eithan David HAIM ░░░░░░░░ s criminal action number ░░░░░░░░ 24 298 It says ░░░░░░░░ indictment and all open ░░░░░░░░ in the above listed ░░░░░░░░ case are hereby dismissed ░░░░░░░░ prejudice I can feel ░░░░░░░░ lot of emotion from ░░░░░░░░ two of you just ░░░░░░░░ the court order A ░░░░░░░░ Yeah I mean it ░░░░░░░░ his name It made ░░░░░░░░ what we knew all ░░░░░░░░ which was that this ░░░░░░░░ should have never been ░░░░░░░░ in the first place ░░░░░░░░ on camera Did the ░░░░░░░░ order give you your ░░░░░░░░ back E HAIM Yeah ░░░░░░░░ you know the important ░░░░░░░░ for people to know ░░░░░░░░ it s dismissed with ░░░░░░░░ It s a big ░░░░░░░░ because that means they ░░░░░░░░ never bring the case ░░░░░░░░ in the future The ░░░░░░░░ thing I want to ░░░░░░░░ is just hold my ░░░░░░░░ because the biggest fear ░░░░░░░░ not being there for ░░░░░░░░ A HAIM I would ░░░░░░░░ at him holding her ░░░░░░░░ think Oh my gosh ░░░░░░░░ if he goes to ░░░░░░░░ What if he s ░░░░░░░░ there for her growing ░░░░░░░░ And so at the ░░░░░░░░ there s this you ░░░░░░░░ picture of him holding ░░░░░░░░ is her name and ░░░░░░░░ this glass of champagne ░░░░░░░░ s the celebratory moment ░░░░░░░░ just this knowledge that ░░░░░░░░ s going to be ░░░░░░░░ for her HERRIDGE on ░░░░░░░░ You posted today is ░░░░░░░░ celebrating tomorrow is for ░░░░░░░░ What does accountability look ░░░░░░░░ for you and your ░░░░░░░░ A HAIM Accountability looks ░░░░░░░░ the people who did ░░░░░░░░ the agents responsible the ░░░░░░░░ responsible being held to ░░░░░░░░ for breaches of you ░░░░░░░░ their duties as prosecutors ░░░░░░░░ agents and also for ░░░░░░░░ breaches of duties as ░░░░░░░░ E HAIM They should ░░░░░░░░ nowhere near a position ░░░░░░░░ authority where they can ░░░░░░░░ their position to target ░░░░░░░░ who oppose their political ░░░░░░░░ Because to accuse someone ░░░░░░░░ a crime and destroy ░░░░░░░░ they ve ever worked ░░░░░░░░ for something in this ░░░░░░░░ for doing the right ░░░░░░░░ is the most evil ░░░░░░░░ you can do to ░░░░░░░░ It was because they ░░░░░░░░ trying to crush us ░░░░░░░░ we worked so hard ░░░░░░░░ let them not crush ░░░░░░░░ And we ended up ░░░░░░░░ It s the greatest ░░░░░░░░ of my life I ░░░░░░░░ it s amazing HERRIDGE

░░░░░░░░ personally almost 2 million ░░░░░░░░ on camera Wait 2 ░░░░░░░░ A HAIM Yes HERRIDGE ░░░░░░░░ camera to defend yourself ░░░░░░░░ HAIM Yes And that ░░░░░░░░ conservative for the quality ░░░░░░░░ lawyers that we have ░░░░░░░░ the amount of the ░░░░░░░░ work that was required ░░░░░░░░ this case If you ░░░░░░░░ at the docket entries ░░░░░░░░ the court you know ░░░░░░░░ are hundreds of motions ░░░░░░░░ each one of those ░░░░░░░░ tens of thousands if ░░░░░░░░ sometimes hundreds of thousands ░░░░░░░░ dollars to respond to ░░░░░░░░ on camera Do you ░░░░░░░░ bad actors in government ░░░░░░░░ on the fact that ░░░░░░░░ people cannot financially afford ░░░░░░░░ defend themselves A HAIM ░░░░░░░░ I think that s ░░░░░░░░ huge part of the ░░░░░░░░ that the government it ░░░░░░░░ a huge advantage that ░░░░░░░░ government has HERRIDGE voice ░░░░░░░░ In 2023 the Haims ░░░░░░░░ went viral after Christopher ░░░░░░░░ posted his whistleblower account ░░░░░░░░ year earlier Texas Attorney ░░░░░░░░ Ken Paxton found gender ░░░░░░░░ care can legally constitute ░░░░░░░░ abuse under Texas family ░░░░░░░░ Texas Children s Hospital ░░░░░░░░ a statement that it ░░░░░░░░ hormone related prescription therapies ░░░░░░░░ gender affirming services citing ░░░░░░░░ criminal legal ramifications But ░░░░░░░░ HAIM says the hospital ░░░░░░░░ schedules indicated that the ░░░░░░░░ treatments for minors continued ░░░░░░░░ on camera When you ░░░░░░░░ these screenshots did you ░░░░░░░░ into the hospital system ░░░░░░░░ you have unauthorized access ░░░░░░░░ HAIM Absolutely not I ░░░░░░░░ working in the hospital ░░░░░░░░ as part of my ░░░░░░░░ program HERRIDGE on camera ░░░░░░░░ drove you to take ░░░░░░░░ screenshots E HAIM I ░░░░░░░░ a lot of time ░░░░░░░░ care of these sick ░░░░░░░░ at Texas Children s ░░░░░░░░ And everything we do ░░░░░░░░ to make them healthy ░░░░░░░░ But in the same ░░░░░░░░ rooms I find out ░░░░░░░░ they re taking perfectly ░░░░░░░░ children right inserting medications ░░░░░░░░ their body putting them ░░░░░░░░ this road to turn ░░░░░░░░ into chronic medical patients ░░░░░░░░ on camera I d ░░░░░░░░ you to walk us ░░░░░░░░ this schedule from Texas ░░░░░░░░ s Hospital The diagnosis ░░░░░░░░ is gender dysphoria What ░░░░░░░░ gender dysphoria E HAIM ░░░░░░░░ this is the distress ░░░░░░░░ people feel when they ░░░░░░░░ that their sex is ░░░░░░░░ than their biological sex ░░░░░░░░ on camera I m ░░░░░░░░ at the ages here ░░░░░░░░ 13 12 14 12 ░░░░░░░░ Minors can t give ░░░░░░░░ for these procedures so ░░░░░░░░ parents are giving consent ░░░░░░░░ you believe it s ░░░░░░░░ consent E HAIM So ░░░░░░░░ believe this is not ░░░░░░░░ consent Because the informing ░░░░░░░░ is the doctor If ░░░░░░░░ doctor is misinformed about ░░░░░░░░ pathology they re treating ░░░░░░░░ the success of the ░░░░░░░░ then the patients are ░░░░░░░░ misinformed And that s ░░░░░░░░ what s happening here ░░░░░░░░ on camera Just to ░░░░░░░░ clear this medical procedure ░░░░░░░░ a surgical procedure E ░░░░░░░░ Yeah this is a ░░░░░░░░ procedure that requires anesthesia ░░░░░░░░ requires surgical instruments that ░░░░░░░░ surgical risks in every ░░░░░░░░ HERRIDGE on camera And ░░░░░░░░ non biodegradable drug delivery ░░░░░░░░ is a this is ░░░░░░░░ puberty blocker E HAIM ░░░░░░░░ Yeah this is a ░░░░░░░░ very powerful medication HERRIDGE ░░░░░░░░ camera I see the ░░░░░░░░ highlighting here Did you ░░░░░░░░ those marks E HAIM ░░░░░░░░ HERRIDGE on camera Why ░░░░░░░░ you blocking this information ░░░░░░░░ HAIM To protect the ░░░░░░░░ Because this whole story ░░░░░░░░ nothing to do with ░░░░░░░░ right They re the ░░░░░░░░ It has to do ░░░░░░░░ the hospital So I ░░░░░░░░ to make sure to ░░░░░░░░ their identities HERRIDGE on ░░░░░░░░ What would you say ░░░░░░░░ those families and children ░░░░░░░░ are struggling with gender ░░░░░░░░ E HAIM I would ░░░░░░░░ to them I think ░░░░░░░░ s the most important ░░░░░░░░ They re hurting What ░░░░░░░░ need is someone to ░░░░░░░░ through that emotional pain ░░░░░░░░ them to listen to ░░░░░░░░ to tell them that ░░░░░░░░ re dignified that they ░░░░░░░░ created perfect the way ░░░░░░░░ are HERRIDGE on camera ░░░░░░░░ of your whistleblower activity ░░░░░░░░ you retaliated against E ░░░░░░░░ Yes I believe so ░░░░░░░░ really in a number ░░░░░░░░ ways HERRIDGE on camera ░░░░░░░░ d like to walk ░░░░░░░░ the reviews that were ░░░░░░░░ on your medical profile ░░░░░░░░ This one says He ░░░░░░░░ me inappropriately and was ░░░░░░░░ creepy He had no ░░░░░░░░ what he was doing ░░░░░░░░ has no business being ░░░░░░░░ medicine He should be ░░░░░░░░ jail for being a ░░░░░░░░ physician He mutilates patients ░░░░░░░░ sounds like you re ░░░░░░░░ abuser E HAIM An ░░░░░░░░ thing for people to ░░░░░░░░ about those reviews is ░░░░░░░░ they were written when ░░░░░░░░ was anonymous before I ░░░░░░░░ my story public So ░░░░░░░░ person who wrote those ░░░░░░░░ had come from inside ░░░░░░░░ hospital HERRIDGE voice voice ░░░░░░░░ claims are backed up ░░░░░░░░ criminal attorney Mark Lytle ░░░░░░░░ member of Dr HAIM ░░░░░░░░ legal team LYTLE Those ░░░░░░░░ outrageous comments that they ░░░░░░░░ not real They were ░░░░░░░░ and they were put ░░░░░░░░ by someone to retaliate ░░░░░░░░ Dr HAIM We did ░░░░░░░░ as best we could ░░░░░░░░ own investigation and we ░░░░░░░░ that it was coming ░░░░░░░░ the hospital the same ░░░░░░░░ address HERRIDGE voice over ░░░░░░░░ government s case stood ░░░░░░░░ for other reasons Lytle ░░░░░░░░ the Biden appointed U ░░░░░░░░ attorney Alamdar Hamdani circumvented ░░░░░░░░ standing Justice Department checks ░░░░░░░░ balances and worked directly ░░░░░░░░ assistant U S attorney ░░░░░░░░ Ansari who prosecuted the ░░░░░░░░ Lytle told us about ░░░░░░░░ specific conversation with Ansari ░░░░░░░░ on camera So in ░░░░░░░░ 20 plus years you ░░░░░░░░ been practicing law you ░░░░░░░░ never had a conversation ░░░░░░░░ you did with the ░░░░░░░░ LYTLE Never Under under ░░░░░░░░ the cases I ve ░░░░░░░░ I was chief of ░░░░░░░░ Financial Crimes and Public ░░░░░░░░ Unit I supervised 15 ░░░░░░░░ 17 attorneys at any ░░░░░░░░ time and we reviewed ░░░░░░░░ these types of things ░░░░░░░░ types of procedures never ░░░░░░░░ of it before HERRIDGE ░░░░░░░░ camera Did the prosecutor ░░░░░░░░ a red line in ░░░░░░░░ conversation LYTLE Absolutely HERRIDGE ░░░░░░░░ camera You got threats ░░░░░░░░ that phone call LYTLE ░░░░░░░░ threats Essentially like we ░░░░░░░░ going to go after ░░░░░░░░ guy if he doesn ░░░░░░░░ come in and admit ░░░░░░░░ he did was wrong ░░░░░░░░ if he doesn t ░░░░░░░░ that then he s ░░░░░░░░ to get a felony ░░░░░░░░ we re going to ░░░░░░░░ him on a technicality ░░░░░░░░ we don t care ░░░░░░░░ we lose And that ░░░░░░░░ that s disturbing That ░░░░░░░░ wielding the law as ░░░░░░░░ as a as a ░░░░░░░░ It s not trying ░░░░░░░░ be on a search ░░░░░░░░ truth This case was ░░░░░░░░ a freight train running ░░░░░░░░ the mountainside without any ░░░░░░░░ pads on it The ░░░░░░░░ is dead set to ░░░░░░░░ this case against Dr ░░░░░░░░ HERRIDGE voice over Two ░░░░░░░░ before Dr HAIM was ░░░░░░░░ the Biden Administration sent ░░░░░░░░ guidance from Washington D ░░░░░░░░ about investigating anyone who ░░░░░░░░ or restricted gender affirming ░░░░░░░░ for minors HERRIDGE on ░░░░░░░░ This memo is from ░░░░░░░░ and Human Services the ░░░░░░░░ of Civil Rights and ░░░░░░░░ s their notice and ░░░░░░░░ on gender affirming care ░░░░░░░░ rights and patient privacy ░░░░░░░░ message was sent by ░░░░░░░░ Health and Human Services ░░░░░░░░ E HAIM So the ░░░░░░░░ from this memo is ░░░░░░░░ anyone who interferes with ░░░░░░░░ administration of quote unquote ░░░░░░░░ affirming care is going ░░░░░░░░ become a target of ░░░░░░░░ federal government that they ░░░░░░░░ going to use the ░░░░░░░░ of their power and ░░░░░░░░ to target people who ░░░░░░░░ in the way of ░░░░░░░░ political goals A HAIM ░░░░░░░░ memo was a green ░░░░░░░░ by the Biden Administration ░░░░░░░░ prosecutors to manipulate HIPAA ░░░░░░░░ exactly the way that ░░░░░░░░ re talking about HERRIDGE ░░░░░░░░ over At the heart ░░░░░░░░ the government s case ░░░░░░░░ a federal law called ░░░░░░░░ that protects the privacy ░░░░░░░░ patients and their health ░░░░░░░░ information HERRIDGE on camera ░░░░░░░░ you re alleging in ░░░░░░░░ case is that the ░░░░░░░░ was being used by ░░░░░░░░ Justice Department to protect ░░░░░░░░ and the hospitals A ░░░░░░░░ It was shocking and ░░░░░░░░ was you know trying ░░░░░░░░ fit a square peg ░░░░░░░░ a round hole HIPAA ░░░░░░░░ intended to protect patient ░░░░░░░░ it s not designed ░░░░░░░░ protect billion dollar hospital ░░░░░░░░ but that s what ░░░░░░░░ were using it for ░░░░░░░░ voice over On June ░░░░░░░░ 2023 the day of ░░░░░░░░ graduation the Haims described ░░░░░░░░ federal agents from Health ░░░░░░░░ Human Services knocking on ░░░░░░░░ door E HAIM Two ░░░░░░░░ standing out there they ░░░░░░░░ me their badges tell ░░░░░░░░ that they re with ░░░░░░░░ and Human Services and ░░░░░░░░ they re investigating a ░░░░░░░░ regarding medical records And ░░░░░░░░ that moment I knew ░░░░░░░░ what they were there ░░░░░░░░ And Andrea gives me ░░░░░░░░ look and she says ░░░░░░░░ know we have to ░░░░░░░░ talk privately So we ░░░░░░░░ over to our bedroom ░░░░░░░░ she tells me that ░░░░░░░░ should not speak with ░░░░░░░░ without an attorney present ░░░░░░░░ before they leave they ░░░░░░░░ me a target letter ░░░░░░░░ on camera Well I ░░░░░░░░ got the I ve ░░░░░░░░ target letter right here ░░░░░░░░ federal agents give you ░░░░░░░░ target letter And it ░░░░░░░░ This office is involved ░░░░░░░░ s the U S ░░░░░░░░ s office in Texas ░░░░░░░░ an investigation dealing with ░░░░░░░░ law violations You are ░░░░░░░░ potential target in this ░░░░░░░░ investigation That means that ░░░░░░░░ are the focus of ░░░░░░░░ criminal investigation Andrea you ░░░░░░░░ that there s serious ░░░░░░░░ risk A HAIM So ░░░░░░░░ knew the minute that ░░░░░░░░ received that target letter ░░░░░░░░ everything was going to ░░░░░░░░ HERRIDGE voice over The ░░░░░░░░ letter was signed by ░░░░░░░░ U S attorney Tina ░░░░░░░░ who Lytle says accused ░░░░░░░░ HAIM of obstructing the ░░░░░░░░ LYTLE When I asked ░░░░░░░░ why it was because ░░░░░░░░ Dr HAIM when the ░░░░░░░░ agents came to visit ░░░░░░░░ and they sought a ░░░░░░░░ interview Dr HAIM s ░░░░░░░░ who is an attorney ░░░░░░░░ that he should wait ░░░░░░░░ have an attorney before ░░░░░░░░ submit to an interview ░░░░░░░░ Ms AUSA Ansari believed ░░░░░░░░ was obstruction HERRIDGE on ░░░░░░░░ At that time Andrea ░░░░░░░░ was onboarding for her ░░░░░░░░ position as a federal ░░░░░░░░ in Texas LYTLE Ansari ░░░░░░░░ that Dr HAIM s ░░░░░░░░ was freshly hired as ░░░░░░░░ assistant U S attorney ░░░░░░░░ another office and undergoing ░░░░░░░░ clearance a background check ░░░░░░░░ this is where AUSA ░░░░░░░░ said something that was ░░░░░░░░ to us She said ░░░░░░░░ wasn t going to ░░░░░░░░ anything about that even ░░░░░░░░ she believed it was ░░░░░░░░ but she might do ░░░░░░░░ if Dr HAIM s ░░░░░░░░ became difficult HERRIDGE on ░░░░░░░░ That sounds like a ░░░░░░░░ LYTLE That s the ░░░░░░░░ we took it HERRIGDE ░░░░░░░░ over Nearly a year ░░░░░░░░ the target letter federal ░░░░░░░░ delivered the first of ░░░░░░░░ criminal indictments for allegedly ░░░░░░░░ patient privacy laws HERRIDGE ░░░░░░░░ camera The first indictment ░░░░░░░░ May of 2024 The ░░░░░░░░ indictment is October The ░░░░░░░░ indictment is November What ░░░░░░░░ three indictments A HAIM ░░░░░░░░ of all it is ░░░░░░░░ that there are three ░░░░░░░░ This is absolutely speaking ░░░░░░░░ the fact that this ░░░░░░░░ they were trying any ░░░░░░░░ that they could to ░░░░░░░░ an indictment out of ░░░░░░░░ existent law That s ░░░░░░░░ it failed E HAIM ░░░░░░░░ were going to do ░░░░░░░░ possible to make me ░░░░░░░░ for what I did ░░░░░░░░ To try to get ░░░░░░░░ to plead to make ░░░░░░░░ whistleblowers disincentivized from doing ░░░░░░░░ same thing HERRIDGE on ░░░░░░░░ It says that you ░░░░░░░░ Title 42 U S ░░░░░░░░ Chapter 7 Subchapter XL ░░░░░░░░ couldn t find Subchapter ░░░░░░░░ I mean does it ░░░░░░░░ A HAIM It does ░░░░░░░░ It s a typo ░░░░░░░░ isn t a typo ░░░░░░░░ there versus there or ░░░░░░░░ like that This is ░░░░░░░░ operative language of their ░░░░░░░░ the name of the ░░░░░░░░ that they re charging ░░░░░░░░ and they got that ░░░░░░░░ in multiple indictments HERRIDGE ░░░░░░░░ camera I think a ░░░░░░░░ of people are going ░░░░░░░░ be confused that you ░░░░░░░░ got a Justice Department ░░░░░░░░ federal criminal charges and ░░░░░░░░ cites a law that ░░░░░░░░ not exist E HAIM ░░░░░░░░ and they admitted that ░░░░░░░░ a hearing right They ░░░░░░░░ to apologize that they ░░░░░░░░ t proofreading properly HERRIDGE ░░░░░░░░ camera I just think ░░░░░░░░ taxpayers would want an ░░░░░░░░ about sloppy lawyering E ░░░░░░░░ Yeah A HAIM They ░░░░░░░░ one E HAIM I ░░░░░░░░ consider how many resources ░░░░░░░░ spent on this case ░░░░░░░░ right Months and months ░░░░░░░░ legal work right You ░░░░░░░░ FBI agents prosecutors You ░░░░░░░░ the court s time ░░░░░░░░ of that HERRIDGE on ░░░░░░░░ The allegation is that ░░░░░░░░ violated patient privacy Yet ░░░░░░░░ I read the indictment ░░░░░░░░ Justice Department identifies patients ░░░░░░░░ their initials Is this ░░░░░░░░ violation of their

screenshots ░░░░░░░░ the hospital surgery schedule ░░░░░░░░ Dr HAIM removed patient ░░░░░░░░ A HAIM To me ░░░░░░░░ is one of the ░░░░░░░░ unbelievable parts of this ░░░░░░░░ is that they re ░░░░░░░░ him with accessing private ░░░░░░░░ information but the government ░░░░░░░░ more information about child ░░░░░░░░ than Eithan ever did ░░░░░░░░ voice over As the ░░░░░░░░ weight of the Biden ░░░░░░░░ Justice Department came down ░░░░░░░░ the couple Andrea neared ░░░░░░░░ due date and Eithan ░░░░░░░░ to be in court ░░░░░░░░ on camera What was ░░░░░░░░ darkest moment A HAIM ░░░░░░░░ happiest moment of my ░░░░░░░░ was the birth of ░░░░░░░░ 4 month old daughter ░░░░░░░░ it was also the ░░░░░░░░ And I ended up ░░░░░░░░ to have an emergency ░░░░░░░░ section Eithan had to ░░░░░░░░ the hospital room

federal criminal charges 250 ░░░░░░░░ in fines and then ░░░░░░░░ court threatens to silence ░░░░░░░░ What s going through ░░░░░░░░ head at that point ░░░░░░░░ HAIM That was by ░░░░░░░░ the most painful part ░░░░░░░░ this case because what ░░░░░░░░ was simply talking about ░░░░░░░░ public motions So every ░░░░░░░░ I made on X ░░░░░░░░ these interviews was already ░░░░░░░░ by my attorneys HERRIDGE ░░░░░░░░ camera I want to ░░░░░░░░ some of the court ░░░░░░░░ It says from the ░░░░░░░░ if similar conduct continues ░░░░░░░░ will not hesitate to ░░░░░░░░ the issuing of a ░░░░░░░░ order

believe ░░░░░░░░ his way of protecting ░░░░░░░░ his way of protecting ░░░░░░░░ DoJ from criticism but ░░░░░░░░ comes at a cost ░░░░░░░░ that cost is paid ░░░░░░░░ my own constitutional rights ░░░░░░░░ rights that they took ░░░░░░░░ oath to protect in ░░░░░░░░ courtroom HERRIDGE voice over ░░░░░░░░ the morning of January ░░░░░░░░ Dr HAIM was under ░░░░░░░░ pressure after he called ░░░░░░░░ case a
