Former Aide
The news that Trump’s former aide Sam Nunberg was willing to assist Mueller received a rebuttal from the White House.
Nunberg said “I think he may have done something during the election. But I don’t know that for sure.”
Nunberg had originally said he won’t cooperate, but later said he would likely cooperate. He may have already testified by his recent comments, whether he knew it or not.
“Up until this point Mueller’s team has been so tight, we haven’t seen the leaks so it has been very difficult to see what he’s looking for,” Josh Campbell said. “I think it’s incredible, seeing today this episode unfold before our eyes because it gives us that insight into where the investigation is ultimately headed.”
Campbell was once an FBI agent and said “This guy is all over the map.”
The White House responded to his allegations. Sarah Sanders spoke during a briefing and said Nunberg doesn’t know what he was saying.
“I definitely think he doesn’t know that for sure because he’s incorrect. As we’ve said many times before, there was no collusion with the Trump campaign,” Sanders said. “He hasn’t worked at the White House, so I certainly can’t speak to him or the lack of knowledge that he clearly has.”
John Dean tweeted “This is not Mr. Nunberg’s decision, and he will be in criminal contempt for refusing to show up. He can take the Fifth Amendment. But he can’t tell the grand Jury to get lost. He’s going to lose this fight.”
Dean was a former White House Counsel to Former President Richard Nixon.
