How Did the Doctor’s Office Raid Harold Bornstein Described Not Violate HIPAA?

NBC News released a sensational story on Tuesday morning, an exclusive interview with Donald Trump’s former physician Dr. Harold Bornstein, who explains that his office was “raided” by the president’s personal staff, who came in with no warning and took Trump’s medical records. The raid occurred two days after Bornstein told the New York Times that he had prescribed the president a hair-growth medication. Bornstein’s account of the incident raises several questions, such as why Bornstein would compare the incident to the experience of being raped (he did) and whether it would be possible to make up a story that better underscores male fragility (it’s not). It also raises a set of questions about how this entire mess intersects with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA.
