The other poster made a statement that Congress can declare POTUS in contempt and have him prosecuted.

They can do no such thing because POTUS isn’t subject to congressional summons or subpoena, and thus cannot be in contempt thereof.

I think records can be subpoenaed.

But any punishment for violating this would likely need to be political, not criminal, due to Separation of Powers. THAT is when impeachment comes into play directly.
