Pa. Gov. Josh Shapiro joins Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in fight to stop Trump officials from obtaining medical records of transgender youth

PHILADELPHIA -- Gov. Josh Shapiro has entered the legal fight between Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and President Donald Trump's administration over a federal subpoena seeking the private medical records of transgender youth.

In a new court filing, Shapiro argues that states -- not the federal government -- are legally empowered to regulate the practice of medicine, and that Trump's Department of Justice is trying to usurp state laws that license and oversee doctors.
