Former Trump aide speaks to Mueller, says Russia probe is not a 'witch hunt'

Less than six hours after testifying in front of a grand jury in the Russia probe, a former Political adviser to President Trump Sam Nunberg believes that the investigation is quote, “warranted.”

Nunberg had called the probe a quote, “witch hunt” earlier this month, but backtracked with his interview with ABC News saying, quote, “I don't think it's a witch hunt. It's warranted because there's a lot there and that's the sad truth.”

Nunberg also told ABC News he believes the investigation won’t lead to the President, instead of saying that those in Trump’s inner circle may face legal trouble.

This includes Trump’s mentor and former campaign aide Roger Stone, with Nunberg saying, “He's certainly at least the subject of this investigation, in the very least he's a subject.”
