Former White House counsel Don McGahn did not comply with a subpoena to testify on May 21 to the House Judiciary Committee, drawing a threat from the committee’s chairman, Jerrold Nadler.

“Let me be clear: this committee will hear Mr. McGahn’s testimony, even if we have to go to court to secure it,” Rep. Nadler (D-N.Y.) said.
