Ralph de la Torre's lawsuit against the Senate committee contends that lawmakers are unlawfully violating his constitutional rights while attempting to compel testimony through a subpoena.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court, argues that the contempt resolution passed by the Senate infringes upon de la Torre's Fifth Amendment protections against self-incrimination.
William Burck, de la Torre's lawyer, stated that the Constitution prohibits Congress from punishing individuals for exercising their rights, reinforcing de la Torre's legal stance.
Communications director Anna Bahr ridiculed the lawsuit, asserting it lacks merit, as both parties unanimously voted for contempt against de la Torre over his refusal to testify.
