| Sebelius Now Refusing To Testify Before Senate Panel |
| 2014-05-01 |
| [DAILYCALLER] Outgoing Health and Human Services Sec. Kathleen Sebelius is now refusing to testify before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies, a Senate aide told The Daily Caller Tuesday. Sebelius had originally been set to testify before the subcommittee about the department's 2015 $70 billion budget request on April 2. According to another aide, however, several weeks after confirming the hearing date, she requested a date switch with the National Institutes of Health budget hearing on May 7. The committee accommodated her request. Now, after announcing her resignation on April 11, she is refusing to testify according to the two aides, even though she is still the sitting secretary -- remaining at the post until her successor, OMB Director Sylvia Mathews Burwell is confirmed. "It appears that Sec. Sebelius has unilaterally decided that she is no longer accountable to Congress," the first aide said. |
