The CEO of bankrupt Steward Health Care is criticizing the U.S. Senate for seeking a contempt of Congress charge against him. 

Ralph de la Torre says the Senate is violating his constitutional rights by trying to force him to testify before them in violation of the Fifth Amendment. 

The Senate is requesting that the Justice Department prosecute de la Torre for ignoring their subpoena.  A Senate committee sought to question de la Torre over the collapse of the hospital company, but he did not show up for the hearing.
