Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump's former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said Wednesday that he doesn't think he will be held in contempt of Congress a day after the House Judiciary Committee's chairman threatened to do so following a contentious hearing.

"I don't have any reason to be held in contempt and I've told the members of Congress I'm happy to come back and answer more questions if they need me to, after the five- or six-hour charade I went through yesterday," Lewandowski, a former CNN political commentator, told CNN's Alisyn Camerota on "New Day."

The testy back-and-forth between Lewandowski and Camerota continues the former campaign official's steadfast stonewalling of both Democratic investigators as well as media scrutiny of Trump's White House and campaign.

On Tuesday, Lewandowski sat for a roughly six-hour House Judiciary Committee hearing in which he largely ignored questions from the panel's Democrats on whether Trump obstructed justice. The hearing, which was the first official impeachment-related hearing on Capitol Hill in the wake of the Russia investigation, was largely filled with barbs, partisan attacks and references to Lewindowski's possible New Hampshire US Senate campaign.

The hearing grew so heated that the panel's Democratic chairman, Jerry Nadler of New York, threatened to hold Lewandowski in contempt, saying later that the White House's effort to restrict Lewandowski's testimony was based on "crony privilege."
