A Democratic Congressman warned officials in the administration of President Donald Trump that by not complying with subpoenas, they risk going to prison.

“You know, a subpoena is very serious document. It literally means under penalty if you don’t show up, there is a penalty—jailing and fines and that sort of thing,” Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.), a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said during an appearance on CNN on Oct. 9.
