Question 1
1. The Senate conducted investigations on how to strengthen the efforts of
the government against fugitives from justice after prominent
personalities covertly left the country to escape prosecution. The Senate
invited Winston as a resource person. Winston is a notorious drug dealer
who managed to avoid his warrants of arrest and hold departure orders.
At the hearing, the Senators asked Winston about the modus operandi and
the names of immigration officers who helped him escape. Yet, Winston
responded: "I will leave it to the Senate to find out the information about
these immigration officers." Dissatisfied, the Senators immediately cited
Winston in contempt and ordered his detention until he answers the
question. Did the Senate lawfully cite Winston in contempt? Explain.
