VietPress USA (Mar. 10, 2018): Sam Nunberg, 36 year old, a former political aide to Donald Trump from 2011, making him one of Trump's earliest political advisers, but he was fired from the Republican's campaign in August 2015 before the heat of the 2016 presidential race.
On Mar. 5, 2018, he said that he refuses to accept any subpoena from Special Counsel Robert Mueller for every emails between him and several former campaign aides including Steve Bannon, Hope Hicks, Paul Manafort, and Roger Stone (https://www.vietpressusa.us/2018/03/sam-nunberg-former-trumps-campaign-aid.html).
Sam Nunberg said he’ll risk being arrested rather than comply with the Special Counsel Mueller’s request for his emails from his time on the campaign. He said in a heated interview on MSNBC that he refuses to comply this subpoena, and said "I’m the first person to go out here and say I’m not cooperating, because it’s absolutely ridiculous what they want from me.”
Yesterday on Friday Mar. 9, 2018, Sam Nunberg testified before a grand jury for more than six hours in the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign. Complying with the subpoena, Nunberg said, was something he felt he needed to do as an attorney and was his "duty as an American, whether I like it or not." If he did not comply, he risked being jailed.
The Politico reported that "Former
Trump campaign adviser Sam Nunberg on Saturday pushed back on criticism that
his media blitz over a subpoena from special counsel Robert Mueller was a
meltdown, adding it was always his intention to comply with the ongoing Russia
investigation.
"People
I say I had a meltdown on TV; I melted TV down that day," Nunberg told ABC
News reporter Tara Palmeri. "I wanted to show what this independent
counsel, this independent investigation does to people like me."
He has confessed everything with Robert Mueller investigation Team and complied with the subpoena. Today he declared on Saturday that the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller is “not a witch hunt.”

Former Trump Aide Sam Nunberg Says Mueller Probe 'Not A Witch Hunt'
After a series of unhinged interviews on national TV earlier this week, former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg testified before a grand jury Friday and later declared the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller is “not a witch hunt.”
The probe by Mueller into whether Russia interfered in the U.S. presidential election and possible collusion by the Trump campaign is “warranted,” Nunberg told ABC News. He made the comments after testifying for close to six hours before a grand jury on the Mueller probe. He said he was questioned about whether he ever heard Russian spoken in the office, and why President Donald Trump supported Putin in Syria.
“I don’t think it’s a witch hunt,” Nunberg said. “It’s warranted because there’s a lot ’there’ there, and that’s the sad truth.”
He said he doesn’t “believe” the probe will “lead to the president.” But he thinks others in Trump’s inner circle could be in trouble, particularly Roger Stone.
“I’m very worried about him,” Nunberg told ABC. “He’s certainly at least the subject of this investigation, in the very least he’s a subject.”
He also said he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin is “really taking advantage of the president,” though he didn’t elaborate. Nunberg did say: “I think we all could agree [Putin] wanted Donald Trump to win.”
Nunberg struck a defiant attitude in a series of bizarre TV interviews on Monday. He vowed he would ignore the subpoena calling him to testify and called Mueller a “moron.” CNN’s Erin Burnett told him she smelled alcohol on his breath. He denied having a drink that day, adding that he had taken his “meds, anti-depressants.”
“People say I had a meltdown on TV. I melted TV down that day,” Nunberg said on ABC after his testimony. “I wanted to show what this independent counsel, this independent investigation, does to people like me. I was going to always comply ... I’m an attorney, that’s the first thing, and this is my duty as an American to do this, whether I like it or not.”
Nunberg was fired as a Trump campaign adviser in 2015 after racially charged social media posts he allegedly wrote surfaced. He denied writing them.
