Abstract

Ralph de la Torre, CEO and founder of bankrupt Steward Health Care System, has filed a lawsuit against a US Senate committee investigating the hospital chain's financial collapse. De la Torre claims that the Senate violated his Fifth Amendment rights by forcing him to testify and that the committee is attempting to punish him for invoking his right against self-incrimination. The Senate voted to hold de la Torre in criminal contempt for failing to testify, which his lawyers argue is an abuse of power and a violation of the Constitution. De la Torre recently announced that he will step down as CEO and chairman of Steward. [Extracted from the article]
