Trump bodyguard and lawyer 'raid' doctor's office for medical records after hair loss medication revealed

Keith Schiller (Trump's bodyguard), Alan Garten (Trump Organization lawyer), and a third man arrived unannounced at Dr. Harold Bornstein's office and took all of Trump's medical records without providing a HIPAA release form. The 'raid' occurred two days after Bornstein told The New York Times that Trump used Propecia (finasteride) for hair growth. Bornstein described feeling 'raped, frightened and sad' by the seizure of records. The White House defended it as 'standard operating procedure,' though medical privacy experts noted the lack of proper documentation and apparent retaliation timing. The incident demonstrated Trump's willingness to use intimidation against medical professionals who revealed unflattering health details and his disregard for medical privacy norms.
