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.
The other aide explained that HHS has not given the committee any reason for her refusal and that Sebelius has not suggested anyone to testify in her place.
That same aide noted subcommittee Chairman Tom Harkin planned to call Sebelius Tuesday about the hearing.

Congress should either throw her in jail for contempt, or resign as they are incapable of doing their jobs.
Grab the BITCH by the HAIR and DRAG her IN(Make sure you HIT the SIDE of the Door Jam with her HEAD on the way 2 or 3 x)!
Another guilty player in the corrupt Kenyan administration.
Pullin’ a lois lerner on ‘em is she? Par for the course with these asshats runnin’ the show.
She is a civilian now. I don’t blame her. She wants to get as far away from that crap as she can. If she were still interested in talking to Congress, she wouldn’t have resigned from the position in the first place. She is telling them to leave her alone.
Ole Sebaceous has still got something like 30 lawsuits with her name on them.
And she retired why?? To spend more time with her grandchildren?
Nope...she is still sitting until her successor is confirmed.
I reckon she doesn’t need that pension that she rode the clock to receive.
“And she retired why?? To spend more time with her grandchildren?”
I was thinking she needed more time to torture 100 cute black and white puppies.
Methinks soon, we may see tar and feathers.

Toxic.
This bitch needs to be put in prison. Complete arrogance of superiority and unaccountability.
If subpoenaed she must appear.
Nope...she is still sitting until her successor is confirmed.
Oh Wow. I didn’t know that. Thanks!
I think that pension was only going to be 10K/yr.
