On Wednesday, the United States Senate unanimously passed a resolution to hold Ralph de la Torre, the CEO of Steward Health Care, in criminal contempt of Congress. This decision came after de la Torre *failed to appear* at a hearing where he was subpoenaed to testify. The resolution has forwarded the matter to the Department of Justice for possible prosecution. Notably, this marks the first time since 1971 that the Senate has taken such a significant legal action.
