The chairman of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee said in a television interview on Monday that his panel will hold former White House counsel Don McGahn in contempt of Congress for not testifying.

"The first thing we are going to do we're going to have to hold McGahn in contempt," Jerrold Nadler, the House judiciary chairman, told CNN, adding that the full House would then move to enforce the contempt citation before launching court proceedings.

McGahn had been scheduled to testify in front of the committee on Tuesday, but late on Monday his lawyer said McGahn would not appear.
