The Justice Department on Wednesday said it has subpoenaed more than 20 doctors and clinics that are involved in providing minors with sex change procedures.

The agency is investigating healthcare fraud, false statements and more, it said.

The DOJ did not disclose which doctors or clinics have been served with subpoenas.

In April, Bondi issued a memo stating that the DOJ would be investigating and prosecuting those who offer sex change treatments for minors. 

Bondi said she was instructing all U.S. attorneys to investigate all suspected cases of female genital mutilation (FGM) under the “banner of so-called ‘gender-affirming care'” and to “prosecute all FGM offenses to the fullest extent possible.”

Bondi also ordered the DOJ’s Civil Division’s Consumer Protection Branch to investigate manufacturers and distributors engaged in misbranding by making false claims about the on- or off-label use of puberty blockers, sex hormones or any other drug used to facilitate a child’s sex change.
