Subpoena literally means “under penalty” and there is NO penalty for ignoring it!

Potentially facing prison time if Congress deems it important enough and the DOJ refuses to prosecute, Congress can charge him with Inherent Contempt, and have the Sergeant of Arms hold him.

Aside from all that, ignoring a congressional subpoena combined with enabling such an abhorrent cancer to take hold of the nation would greatly increase any potential guilt magnification, and scrutiny against him from where it already is.
