DOJ Subpoenas Philadelphia Hospital for Transgender Youth Data
The Justice Department, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, has issued over 20 subpoenas to doctors and clinics, seeking extensive information, including patient data, related to gender-affirming care for minors. These investigations, revealed in court filings, target both states with bans on such care and those with shield laws. Legal experts suggest these actions are part of an effort to build a case alleging violations of criminal statutes and fraud, sparking chaos and confusion in hospitals nationwide. Some health professionals view these subpoenas as politically motivated retaliation intended to intimidate patients and providers, echoing similar investigations by Republican officials in states like Tennessee and Texas.
