Nunberg to Make Second Senate Intel Appearance

News  |  May 11, 2018

CNN reports the Senate Intelligence Committee has asked former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg to appear for a closed-door interview and turn over all communications with Roger Stone "that relate to Russia, WikiLeaks and Russian hacking."

Nunberg told CNN on Friday that he intends to "100% comply" with the committee's request, adding that he believes the Senate committee "from their statements and the way the members have acted — including the Democrats — they're looking to wind their investigation down in a timely manner."

The request itself came Thursday, signed by the committee's chairman, Republican Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina, and top Democrat, Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, and asks for the information by May 24.

CNN reported earlier this year that Nunberg gave an interview to the Senate Intelligence Committee, so his return would mark his second appearance before the panel. In March, he testified before special counsel Robert Mueller's grand jury.

Nunberg denies any wrongdoing and defends Stone, his onetime political mentor, saying they had no advance knowledge of the WikiLeaks releases during the 2016 campaign.

Nunberg believes the committee is interested in documents, including emails, he previously handed over to the special counsel's investigation.
