Ex-Trump Aide Goes On Wild Media Spree After Mueller Subpoena

In an unhinged media spree that continued into Monday evening, former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg told multiple outlets that he won’t comply with the subpoena he received to appear before a federal grand jury hearing evidence surrounding Russia’s possible interference in the 2016 election.

“Let him arrest me,” Nunberg told The Washington Post on Monday of special counsel Robert Mueller, who he says has requested his appearance before the jury this Friday. Mueller, the former FBI director who is leading the investigation into possible ties between Russia and the Trump campaign, is also seeking any records Nunberg has relating to Trump and nine others involved with his administration, including emails and telephone logs, Nunberg said.

“I think it would be funny if they arrested me,” he said live on the phone with MSNBC shortly after the Post story broke.

Continuing his streak of surprising comments, Nunberg told The Associated Press later that evening that he’d likely end up cooperating with Mueller after all.

“I’m going to end up cooperating with them,” he told the outlet.

He later told MSNBC, however, that he would not appear before the jury on Friday.
