It's not only President Donald Trump making big moves that will set the tone for his administration. His Department of Justice is just as busy, and that was proven in recent days.
According to the Daily Caller, Trump's Justice Department is moving to have charges dropped against a Texas doctor who blew the whistle on sex change procedures for minors.
Dr. Eithan Haim was charged by President Joe Biden's Department of Justice with violating medical privacy laws "by leaking records to the press showing that Texas Children’s Hospital was giving the procedures to kids despite announcing it had stopped," the outlet noted.
Trump's DOJ was reportedly urged first by Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri to have the charges against the doctor dropped.
Sen. Hawley released a statement on his efforts to have the new DOJ dismiss the charges against the doctor, which would have otherwise cost him his career.
"I have spoken today with Trump DOJ leadership & strongly urged them to immediately stop the Biden Admin’s malicious prosecution of @EithanHaim,the brave whistleblower who exposed illegal gender transition surgeries on minors in Texas. He should be thanked, not prosecuted," Hawley wrote on his X account.

Not only was the motion by Trump's DOJ granted by Judge David Hittner, he granted it "without prejudice," which means that the charges cannot be brought against the doctor ever again.
The Daily Caller noted:
Haim, who was scheduled to go to trial in February, told the Daily Caller News Foundation that doctors like him should not face charges for the sake of “the political interests of major hospital systems” in a phone interview Thursday.
"What they want to do is bleed us dry in order to get me to plead to some bull***t f*****g agreement, which I’m definitely not going to do," Haim told the DCNF. "If they get me to do that, all of this goes away and it legitimizes their corruption."
Users across social media celebrated the case being dropped.
"This wasn’t just a court case. It was good vs. evil. And the righteous were the victors," one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, "Congratulations and SO WELL DESERVED!!!!!"
Chalk up another win for the Trump administration. This one was huge.
