Former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg arrived at District Court in Washington, DC, Friday morning, where he is expected to deliver federal grand jury testimony as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
Nunberg brazenly declared earlier this week that he planned to defy a federal subpoena compelling his testimony, but he later backed down, pledging to CNN on Tuesday that he was “going to cooperate with whatever they want.”
Nunberg was fired from the Trump campaign in August 2015 after a series of racist Facebook posts came to light.
He said Monday that he was refusing to cooperate with the subpoena because he believes investigators are trying to get him to impugn controversial Trump ally Roger Stone, who Nunberg called his mentor.
“They want me to say that Roger was going around telling people he was colluding with (WikiLeaks founder) Julian Assange,” Nunberg said Monday.
Stone denied wrongdoing in a statement provided to CNN.
