President Trump's former campaign adviser, Sam Nunberg, openly flaunted the fact that he is refusing to comply with a subpoena from Special Counsel Robert Mueller on Monday, telling MSNBC's Katy Tur: "I think it would be funny if they arrested me."
In an earlier interview with The Washington Post, Nunberg had said that while he is no fan of Trump's these days, "I'm not spending 80 hours going over my emails with Roger Stone and Steve Bannon and producing them. Donald Trump won this election on his own … and there is nobody who hates him more than me." Nunberg nevertheless suggested to Tur that "Trump very well may have done something during the election," though he claimed, "I don't know that for sure."
