Sen. Bernie Sanders stated, "For months, this committee has invited Dr. de la Torre to testify about the financial mismanagement and what occurred at Steward Health Care. Time after time, he has arrogantly refused to appear." This reflects the committee's frustration and urgency regarding the investigation into Steward Health Care's financial practices.
In a letter, attorney Alexander Merton claimed, "The committee's request to have him testify would violate his Fifth Amendment rights." Merton argues that compelled testimony could unfairly portray de la Torre as a criminal amid the state's systemic healthcare issues.
