Mueller Told of Trump Conversations With Two Witnesses

President Donald Trump reportedly asked his former chief of staff Reince Priebus if special counsel investigators had been “nice” during his interview, according to The New York Times, citing two people familiar with the conversation.

Former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg had a surreal day Monday.

Nunberg consistently said he was willing to risk arrest to skip a scheduled appearance before a grand jury. He said he had been summoned to appear before a grand jury on Friday but would not, nor would he produce evidence.

Mueller’s team has questioned potential witnesses about allegations that Nader helped funnel money from the UAE to Trump’s presidential campaign to buy political influence.

“Talking to you, I have smelled alcohol on your breath”, Burnett told Nunberg.

He added in another interview with MSNBC: “I’m not going to go in there for them to set up a case against Roger”. As far as cable-news executives are concerned, the answer to these questions is obvious: you never turn off the cameras. “I don’t think I require any protection”. Later, Nunberg asked Jake Tapper for advice in how to proceed with the summons. “Why do I have to produce every email?” In various appearances, he called POTUS “the most disloyal person you’re ever going to meet” and said, “I think it would be really, really amusing if they wanted to arrest me because I don’t want to spend 80 hours going over emails I had with Steve Bannon and Roger Stone”.

Nunberg told The Washington Post he doubts that Putin colluded with Trump because the Russian president is too smart.

In multiple interviews with media outlets on Monday, Mr Nunberg said he would refuse to comply with the subpoena.

In investigating Russian election interference, Mueller is also examining whether the President tried to obstruct the inquiry. Such a concession by Moscow would have been likely to require the easing of USA sanctions on Russian Federation, which were imposed for Russia’s intervention in Ukraine in 2014, those officials said. Page stridently denies doing anything wrong.

Nunberg later told Vox.com he was speculating about what Trump knew about that controversial meeting.

The former aide left Trump’s campaign in the summer of 2015, when racist Facebook posts on his account from the past were dug up, Politico reports.

For the casual follower of the news, it is understandable that it is hard to remember who Nunberg is and to distinguish him from other names in the news like Carter Page, Roger Stone, George Papadopoulos, or Rick Gates. To be sure, we’ve known this since the 2016 campaign, when the cable networks goosed their ratings by providing extensive coverage of Trump’s rallies.

Indeed, if Nunberg was trying to look erratic and unreliable on Monday, mission accomplished. “We want top-of-the line professionals”. That’s the reality. Now Trump loves Corey.

Tur responded: “I’m not a lawyer, I don’t know but given the circumstances you might be held in contempt of court”.

A decades-long friend of Trump’s, Stone is a longtime GOP political operative who worked with Presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, and partnered with embattled former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort at the outside political consultant firm Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly beginning throughout the 1980s. By March 2016, Nunberg had endorsed Trump opponent Ted Cruz. As CNN recaps, Trump has fired him, rehired him, fired him again and sued him for $10 million before the two of them settled a lawsuit over Nunberg’s alleged breach of their nondisclosure agreement.
