Former Trump aide Sam Nunberg is refusing to appear before a grand jury at the request of special counsel Robert Mueller, reports the Washington Post.
Washington Post reports:
In an interview with The Washington Post, Nunberg said he was asked to come to Washington to appear before the grand jury on Friday. He also provided a copy of what appears to be his two-page grand jury subpoena seeking documents related to President Trump and nine other people, including emails, correspondence, invoices, telephone logs, calendars and “records of any kind.” […]
Nunberg said he does not plan to comply with the subpoena, including either testimony or providing documents.
“Let him arrest me,” Nunberg said. “Mr. Mueller should understand I am not going in on Friday.”
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported via Axios, Mueller is “subpoenaing all communications,” of the following former and current Trump aides (including the President, himself):
-
Carter Page
-
Corey Lewandowski
-
Donald J. Trump
-
Hope Hicks
-
Keith Schiller
-
Michael Cohen
-
Paul Manafort
-
Rick Gates
-
Roger Stone
-
Steve Bannon
The subpoena asks for all communications from November 1, 2015, to the present. Notably, Trump announced his campaign for president five months earlier — on June 16, 2015.
In addition to subpoenaing all communications of select former and current Trump aides, the New York Times reports Mueller is now probing whether Lebanese-American businessman and United Arab Emirates advisor, George Nader, is influencing U.S. policy.
Update: Nunberg told the Associated Press Monday evening he will cooperate with Mueller’s team, “I’m going to end up cooperating with them,” he said.
