On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Cuomo Primetime,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) stated that the committee will need to hold former White House Counsel Don McGahn in contempt.

Nadler said, “Well, the first thing we’re going to do is hold — we’re going to have to hold McGahn in contempt, and then we’re going to have to pass a resolution in the House enforcing our contempt citations against Barr and McGahn and seek to enforce those subpoenas in court through the contempt citations. That’s the next step.”
