CNN’s Erin Burnett asks San Nunberg if he’s been drinking

Former Trump campaign adviser Sam Nunberg was asked by CNN‘s Erin Burnett if he was drinking after a series of unhinged media interviews on Monday.

Nunnberg has given six interviews after he refused to comply with a subpoena issued by special counsel Robert Mueller, requesting he appear before a grand jury.

In the latest interview on ‘Outfront’, Burnett told Nunberg she smelled alcohol on his breath during their exchange.

After he denied this, she asked: ‘No, you haven’t had a drink today?’

He replied: ‘I haven’t had a drink’ and insisted the only thing he’s taken are antidepressants.

It was the latest comment in a wild day for Nunberg, during which he called White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders a ‘fat slob’.

Burnett told Nunberg she smelled alcohol on his breath during their exchange, which he denied claiming he’d on;y take antidepressants

It was the latest om six interviews he gave. During his NY1 interview, he called White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders (pictured) a ‘fat slob’

‘She’s a joke. Okay fine, yeah, she’s unattractive, she’s a fat slob. But that’s irrelevant. The person she works for has a 30 percent approval rating,’ Nunberg told NY1 in an interview.

Nunberg called into cable news three times between 2.30pm and 4.15pm ET after The Washington Post published an interview with Nunberg saying he wouldn’t appear before the grand jury. 

He stated in this interview that he was planning to go on Bloomberg TV to rip up the subpoena live on air.

He first appeared on MSNBC speaking with anchor Katy Tur. Within minutes after his first interview he was on air with CNN’s Gloria Bolger, then CNN’s Jake Tapper followed by New York news station NY1.

His last interview of the day is with Erin Burnett as of Monday evening. 

In his interviews, he suggested that President Donald Trump may be implicated in Mueller’s ongoing probe into Russian election meddling.

In her daily briefing, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Nunberg was incorrect in saying that Trump may have committed wrongdoing during the campaign. 

Earlier on Monday, he refused to comply with a subpoena issued by special counsel Robert Mueller, requesting he appear before a grand jury

Nunberg said it would be ‘funny’ if he was arrested over his refusal to comply with the subpoena and declared to Burnett that he would not be going to prison over it

‘I think he definitely doesn’t know that for sure because he’s incorrect,’ Sanders said. ‘There was no collusion.’

A number of gems were sprinkled throughout his interviews.

‘I think it would be funny if they arrested me,’ Nunberg told MSNBC’s Katy Tur in his first wild interview that ended with him asking: ‘What do you think Mueller is gonna do to me?” 

Later, on CNN with Gloria Bolger, he referred to fellow former Trump aide Carter Page as a ‘moron’.

Burnett asked about the media storm that Nunberg had generated because of his countless interviews when he appeared on her program.

‘You’ve done six interviews this the past four hours. “Bizarre” was a word that some White House officials were using to describe some of your interviews. “Nuts” is another one’.

Burnett said that a Trump ally had told her that Nunberg was ‘drunk or off [his] meds’, but Nunberg replied he that he ‘really could care less what the Trump White House’ has to say

unberg said he had no interest in spending hours combing through his emails to top campaign officials to assist prosecutors in their Russia probe

Burnett then said that she had reached out to a ‘Trump ally’.

‘This person told me…you’re drunk or off your meds. At least half a dozen other CNN reporters have received similar messages. Is this a hit job or is something wrong?” Burnett asked.

Nunberg replied he that he ‘really could care less what the Trump White House’ has to say, citing the president’s low approval ratings. 

He also seemed to not believe that the consequence of his actions would result in a great deal of legal blowback.

‘Mueller is not going to send me to prison for this. This is ridiculous,’ he said.

Earlier on Monday, in interview with MSNBC, Nunberg said he had no interest in spending hours combing through his emails to top campaign officials to assist prosecutors in their Russia probe. 

However, his defiance could  ead to contempt of court charges or jail time if he follows through and prosecutors go after him.

‘What they sent me was absolutely ridiculous. They wanted every e-mail I had with Roger Stone and with Steve Bannon. Why should I hand them e-mails from November 1, 2015?’ he said, referencing longtime informal advisor Stone and Trump’s former chief White House strategist. 

Several of Nunberg’s friend told The Daily Beast they were concerned that he was putting himself in severe legal jeopardy by going on multiple live cable-news programs Monday afternoon.

One associate allegedly told Nunberg not to do anything stupid and to go to his parents’ house immediately. 

According to this source, Nunberg promptly hung up and minutes later was appearing on MSNBC as he began his Monday media blitz.
