The prosecution has been a tragedy of errors. The lead prosecutor stayed on the case after being suspended by the state bar for nonpayment of dues, in violation of court and DOJ rules. She later withdrew when it came out that her family’s company (of which she was a former executive) co-sponsored two fundraisers for TCH while the case was pending. The response from the Justice Department was not a humble apology but a request for a gag order to prevent any of this from being reported. Our Ed Whelan and Andy McCarthy have done yeoman’s work in ensuring that a story the DOJ wanted buried would see the light of day.
This prosecution is not just an abuse of the prosecutorial power to wage culture war in aid of the abuse of children; it’s also a menace to democracy and a free press. The new leadership of the Justice Department should end it at once, and it should investigate and publicly expose how it came to be brought. Trump can go further by offering to Dr. Haim a full public apology, and perhaps the sort of show of solidarity that he gave to Daniel Penny. While he’s at it, he should instruct the pardon office at the DOJ to compile a list of other cases, including those of peaceful pro-life protesters, who were likewise subjected to culture-war lawfare.

Which department does he go to for a refund of his legal fees?

Then the Dept of Conservative Publishing.

What happens to his burgeoning medical career, now?

My guess is if he sues for malicious prosecution, if the facts are bad enough, the new administration will just settle.

In the original indictment, iirc, there was an allegation that he violated HIPAA laws.
No evidence he did that, and those charges were subsequently dropped.
I'd really love to see what he disclosed, and how he got access to it. If you're on the staff of a hospital, you have access to surgical schedules, etc. However, if you access the chart of a patient who is not under your care, that could spell problems.
