Bracing for round two at this hour, set to slam into much of the east coast after the deadly storm already left hundreds of thousands without power. Many still without power, without heat tonight. And now, this noreaster set to hit again. The images just in tonight, the domestic figlight, the passenger who allegedly tried to open the aircraft door in mid flight. What they had to do. The middle schoolteacher removed from class, accused of leading a double life. Accused of being a white

And its great to have you with us to start another week. And we begin tonight with defiance from a former Trump Campaign aide, refusing to cooperate with Robert Mueller, refusing to testify before the grand jury. Sam nunberg today on live tv saying he will burn the grand jury subpoena he received from mueller, rather than turn over the documents he has demanded, saying, let him arrest me. But nunberg then went on to make those bold suggestions about his former boss. What he says donald trump allegedly knew. We begin with abcs chief justice correspondent Pierre Thomas tonight. Reporter tonight, a former Trump Campaign adviser, sam nunberg, is defying the special counsel, going on cable
television today to say he will not comply with a subpoena to appear before a grand jury in Robert Muellers investigation. When asked, what could happen to him . Im not cooperating. Arrest me. Reporter but sam nunberg went on to make a stunning suggestion about Robert Mueller and his team. When asked if he thinks they found something on his former boss, donald trump do you think that they have something on the president . I think they may. What . I think he may have done something during the election, but i dont know that for sure. Why do you think that . I cant explain it unless you were in there. Reporter nunberg suggesting on yet another cable show that he believes the president knew about the trump tower meeting with the russians, a meeting with a foreign adversary to get dirt on an american candidate, hillary clinton, something the white house has denied. Do you think that donald trump says President Trump says he knew nothing about the meeting. Do you think thats true . No. You dont think thats true. No. It doesnt and jake, ive
watched your news reports. You know its not true. He talked about it the week before. And i dont know why he did this. All he had to say was, yeah, we met with the russians. The russians offered us something, and we thought they had something, and that was it. I dont know why he went around trying to hide. He shouldnt have. Reporter nunberg said hes already been interviewed for five and a haulf hours by d alfa special counsel, and that why should he have to turn over more . They wanted every single email i had with roger stone and with steve bannon. Why should i hand them emails from november 1st, 2015 . Reporter nunberg, who was fired from the Trump Campaign,
they asked me, did you hear people speaking russian who . I did not hear people speaking russian in the trump office, okay . Thats ridiculous. Reporter nunberg says now mueller has subpoenaed all documents, emails, texts and otherwise. Any communications he may have had with a whos who among Trump Campaign officials and white house aides. They sent me a subpoena where they asked me, after november 1 of 2015, did i communicate with carter page, corey lewandowski. I mean, i despise corey, why would i communicate with him . Hope hicks. Reporter but tonight, hes refusing to release them. Im spending a lot of money on legal fees. A lot of other people are. And granted, donald trump caused it, because hes an idiot. Reporter late today, the white house was pressed about nunbergs bold suggestion that the special counsel may, quote, have something on the president. Hes incorrect. As weve said many times before, there was no collusion with the Trump Campaign. Anything further on what his actions are, he hasnt worked at the white house, so, i certainly cant speak to him or the lack of knowledge that he clearly has. Bold claims about the president tonight. Pierre thomas with us now live. And just now, nunberg going on cable tv yet again to say he was also offered immunity by the special counsel, apparently turning it down and now refusing to cooperate, pierre . Reporter thats right. He just talked about being offered immunity, but hes still saying he won testify. That means he could be held in contempt of court and could face jail time.
