In a letter addressed to Sen. Bernie Sanders, Dr. Ralph de la Torre's lawyers emphasized, "De la Torre needs to remain silent to respect an ongoing hospital reorganization and settlement effort. A federal court order prohibits de la Torre from discussing anything during mediation." Their concerns highlight the delicate balance between compliance with court directives and accountability in public hearings.
The lawyers further argued, "It is not within this Committee's purview to make predeterminations of alleged criminal misconduct under the auspices of an examination into Steward's bankruptcy proceedings." They criticized the Senate committee's approach, expressing concerns that it veered from fact-finding to a public condemnation of de la Torre.
