NewzA divided federal appeals court ruled on Friday that the Department of Justice may proceed with a subpoena issued to a provider of medical treatment for transgender youth. The court determined that President Donald Trump’s stated policy goal of ending gender-affirming care does not constitute an improper motive that would justify quashing the subpoena.
The ruling establishes that the administration's policy objectives cannot be used as a legal basis to invalidate investigative subpoenas. The decision allows the Justice Department to continue its pursuit of records from the medical provider as part of its ongoing legal efforts.
