Nunberg's change of heart late Monday was the culmination of a series of bizarre interviews, including one on CNN where host Erin Burnett asked him whether he had been drinking. It was a sharp reversal from the stance Nunberg took earlier in the day, when he defiantly said, "Let him [Mueller] arrest me." Nunberg insisted he was not going to appear in front of a Mueller grand jury later this week. He told the Washington Post that Mueller’s team requested records from him of conversations he had with outgoing White House communications director Hope Hicks, former White House strategist Steve Bannon, Trump attorney Michael Cohen, former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and adviser Roger Stone. A source close to the Trump campaign told Fox News that Nunberg was fired twice “for good reason” and known to be erratic.
But despite Horowitz’s reputation as "a fair guy, according to House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., GOP lawmakers are leaning toward a second special counsel to find the facts. "I think we’re trending perhaps towards another special counsel," Gowdy told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo. "I’m reluctant to call for a second special counsel, but I think it might be unavoidable in this fact pattern." Last week, 13 House Republicans, not including Gowdy, penned a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions saying the appointment of another special counsel was “of the utmost importance.”
