\nProbes of alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election are no \u201cwitch hunt,\u201d and Vladimir Putin is \u201ctaking advantage\u201d of the President Trump, former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg said in an interview Saturday.
Putin \u201cwanted Donald Trump to win,\u201d Nunberg said in the interview, completed after he spent six hours Friday testifying before a grand jury in Special Counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s probe .
Nunberg\u2019s testified days after he made a media splash Monday by stating in a series of bizarre cable news interviews that he would ignore Mueller\u2019s subpoena.
Nunberg told ABC News reporter Tara Palmeri that he was asked many questions in his testimony, from whether he ever heard Russian spoken in the office to why President Trump supported Putin\u2019s strategy in Syria.
Nunberg also said that Mueller\u2019s investigation is not without cause. \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s a witch hunt,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of there there, and that\u2019s a sad truth.\u201d
He added, \u201cI don\u2019t believe it leads to the president.\u201d
Six weeks after he started working on Trump\u2019s campaign, Nunberg was fired over a series of racist Facebook posts.
Nunberg said he had \u201cnever worked with anybody that was unethical\u201d in the Trump team, and that he was \u201cvery worried\u201d about Trump adviser and political strategist Roger Stone, whom he has described as his mentor.<\/p>\n
