US EditionDOJ Seeking Confidential Information From Hospitals on Transgender Youth, Washington Post Reports
The Justice Department seeks detailed records from hospitals nationwide amid legal disputes over gender-affirming care for transgender youth, with over 25 institutions restricting services since July.
- A court filing on Monday revealed the Justice Department demanded patient names, birthdates and Social Security numbers from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
- Last month, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the DOJ issued more than 20 subpoenas linked to gender-affirming care investigations.
- The subpoenas sought extensive communications dating to January 2020, including doctors' emails, texts, social media posts, and Zoom recordings, sent to institutions in states with bans and states with shield laws as Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti opened a probe into Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
- At least 25 hospitals and health care networks have curtailed gender-affirming care since July, and a coalition of 16 states and Washington, D.C. sued this month to block federal probes.
- Federal efforts to collect sensitive records mirror state investigations in Texas and Tennessee, and efforts to gather medical data by the federal government mirror actions by Republican state officials in Texas and Tennessee.
