The Week reports:
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.”
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.” At the end of the interview, Nunberg asked Tur what she thought Mueller might do to him. “I’m not a lawyer,” she answered, “but I think he’ll hold you in contempt of court.”
