Former Trump campaign adviser Sam Nunberg was asked by CNN's Erin Burnett if he was drinking after a series of unhinged media interviews on Monday.

Nunberg gave seven interviews after he refused to comply with a subpoena issued by special counsel Robert Mueller requesting he appear before a grand jury.

In the latest interview on CNN's 'OutFront', Burnett told Nunberg she smelled alcohol on his breath during their exchange.

After he denied this, she asked: 'No, you haven't had a drink today?'

He replied: 'I haven't had a drink' and insisted he'd only taken antidepressants.

It was the latest comment in a wild day for Nunberg, during which he called White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders a 'fat slob'.

However, he reversed course on his resistance to comply with Mueller, telling the Associated Press in his last interview of the day that he would likely end up cooperating with the special counsel.

In total, Nunberg gave seven interviews on Monday. During his NY1 interview, he called White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders (pictured) a 'fat slob'

'She’s a joke. Okay fine, yeah, she’s unattractive, she’s a fat slob. But that’s irrelevant. The person she works for has a 30 percent approval rating,' Nunberg told NY1 in an interview.

Nunberg called into cable news three times between 2.30pm and 4.15pm ET after The Washington Post published an interview with Nunberg saying he wouldn't appear before the grand jury.

He stated in this interview that he was planning to go on Bloomberg TV to rip up the subpoena live on air.

He first appeared on MSNBC speaking with anchor Katy Tur. Within minutes after his first interview, he was on air with CNN's Gloria Bolger, then CNN's Jake Tapper followed by New York news station NY1.

He appeared again on CNN, this time on 'OutFront with Erin Burnett' before giving his last interview to the Associated Press.

In his interviews, he suggested that President Donald Trump may be implicated in Mueller's ongoing probe into Russian election meddling.

In her daily briefing, Sanders said Nunberg was incorrect in saying that Trump may have committed wrongdoing during the campaign.

Nunberg said it would be 'funny' if he was arrested over his refusal to comply with the subpoena and declared to Burnett that he would not be going to prison over it

'I think he definitely doesn't know that for sure because he's incorrect,' Sanders said. 'There was no collusion.'

A number of gems were sprinkled throughout his interviews.

'I think it would be funny if they arrested me,' Nunberg told MSNBC’s Katy Tur in his first wild interview that ended with him asking: 'What do you think Mueller is gonna do to me?”

Later, on CNN with Gloria Bolger, he referred to fellow former Trump aide Carter Page as a 'moron'.

In an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, he said he believed Page 'colluded with the Russians,' but said he was just a minor figure in the campaign and is a 'weird dude' and a 'scumbag.'

Page called Nunberg’s accusations 'laughable' in a comment to The Associated Press.

On her program, Burnett asked Nunberg about the media storm he had generated because of his countless interviews.

'You’ve done six interviews this the past four hours. "Bizarre" was a word that some White House officials were using to describe some of your interviews. "Nuts" is another one'.

Burnett said that a Trump ally had told her that Nunberg was 'drunk or off [his] meds', but Nunberg replied he that he 'really could care less what the Trump White House' has to say

Nunberg said he had no interest in spending hours combing through his emails to top campaign officials to assist prosecutors in their Russia probe

Burnett then said that she had reached out to a 'Trump ally'.

'This person told me...you’re drunk or off your meds. At least half a dozen other CNN reporters have received similar messages. Is this a hit job or is something wrong?” Burnett asked.

Nunberg replied he that he 'really could care less what the Trump White House' has to say, citing the president's low approval ratings.

He also seemed to not believe that the consequence of his actions would result in a great deal of legal blowback.

'Mueller is not going to send me to prison for this. This is ridiculous,' he told Burnett.

Earlier on Monday, in an interview with MSNBC, Nunberg said he had no interest in spending hours combing through his emails to top campaign officials to assist prosecutors in their Russia probe.

About Sarah Huckabee Sanders, he said on NY1: 'She’s a joke. Okay fine, yeah, she’s unattractive, she’s a fat slob. But that’s irrelevant. The person she works for has a 30 percent approval rating'

Later, on CNN with Gloria Bolger (pictured), he referred to fellow former Trump aide Carter Page as a 'moron'

He told Tapper (pictured) that he 'despised' former Trump campaign manger Corey Lewandowski and once again repeated he wasn't a fan of the president

Former Richard Nixon White House Counsel John Dean wrote of the blitz: 'Sam Nunberg is more Gordon Liddy that Martha Mitchell. But a bit of both: BAT-SH*T CRAZY is the best medical description for his behavior'

However, his defiance could lead to contempt of court charges or jail time if he follows through and prosecutors go after him.

'What they sent me was absolutely ridiculous. They wanted every e-mail I had with Roger Stone and with Steve Bannon. Why should I hand them e-mails from November 1, 2015?' he said, referencing longtime informal advisor Stone and Trump's former chief White House strategist.

Several of Nunberg's friends told The Daily Beast they were concerned that he was putting himself in severe legal jeopardy by going on multiple live cable-news programs on Monday.

One associate allegedly told Nunberg not to do anything stupid and to go to his parents’ house immediately.

According to this source, Nunberg promptly hung up and minutes later was appearing on MSNBC as he began his Monday media blitz.

He received commentary from Washington insiders as well.

Former Richard Nixon White House Counsel John Dean wrote of the blitz: 'Sam Nunberg is more Gordon Liddy that Martha Mitchell. But a bit of both: BAT-SH*T CRAZY is the best medical description for his behavior.'

Nunberg announces he will DEFY Mueller's probe and refuse to cooperate - but admits 'my lawyer is going to dump me'

Longtime Donald Trump aide Sam Nunberg says he will refuse to comply with a subpoena that he considers 'ridiculous' from special counsel Robert Mueller to appear before a grand jury.

Nunberg made the stunning statement in an interview with MSNBC, where he said he had no interest in spending hours combing through his emails to top campaign officials to assist prosecutors in their Russia probe.

His defiance could lead to contempt of court charges or jail time if he follows through and prosecutors go after him.

Nunberg's comments seem to comport with an Axios report from Sunday that revealed all the email communications Mueller was seeking from an unnamed official (Pictured, Nunberg, Monday)

Even as he trashed the request for his information, Nunberg said Mueller was an honorable man – and slammed Trump for hosting Russia's former ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak into the Oval Office.

'What they sent me was absolutely ridiculous. They wanted every e-mail I had with Roger Stone and with Steve Bannon. Why should I hand them e-mails from November 1, 2015?' he said, referencing longtime informal adviser Stone and Trump's former chief White House strategist.

'I was preparing it. Should I spend 50 hours going over all my emails with Roger and with Steve Bannon?

'And then they wanted emails that I had with [departing White House communications director] Hope Hicks, with [former campaign manager] Corey Lewandowski. Are you giving me a break? It's ridiculous,' he said.

In a series of interview, although he said Trump was not guilty of collusion, Nunberg said Trump may indeed have 'done something' – and said one adviser, Carter Page, engaged in collusion with the Russians.

He said he spoke to Steve Bannon, who has met with Mueller's team, recently about 'how we feel.'

In between his complaints, Nunberg revealed the extent of Mueller's inquiries, which ranged from all communications he had with Trump's former campaign manager, press secretary, and former foreign policy adviser Carter Page, who Nunberg said he considered a 'moron.'

'They asked for communications with Carter Page. Are you giving me a break? Do you think I would ever talk to that moron?' Nunberg told CNN.

Nunberg also claimed during the interview that he came up with a great number of Trump campaign cornerstones, including the wall on the US border with Mexico, Trump's travel plan, and the attacks on Jeb Bush.

Nunberg's comments seem to comport with an Axios report from Sunday that revealed all the email communications Mueller was seeking from an unnamed official. It contained the same names of people as subjects of communications that were of interest.

Judges are not known to recognize the personal preferences of witnesses in deciding if they must appear, nor the inconvenience – however substantial – of complying. Others who have been sucked into congressional probes of the Russian interference have complained about piling up massive legal bills.

'They've already bankrupted people, Katy,' Nunberg said to the MSNBC host who covered the campaign. 'They've bankrupted other people with this. You know, [former White House press secretary Sean Spicer has big legal bills. [Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump press aide] Josh Raffel has big legal bills,' he said.

In a series of interview, although he said Trump was not guilty of collusion, Nunberg said Trump may indeed have 'done something' – and said one advisor, Carter Page, engaged in collusion with the Russians.

Nunberg was referencing Twitter communications Stone had with WikiLeaks, which released hacked Democratic emails in the weeks before the election

Nunberg said repeatedly that he was 'not a fan of Donald Trump' following his being pushed out of the campaign but that he viewed the Russia probe as the president does - namely a 'witch hunt'.

'And I'm not going to cooperate! Why do I have to spend 80 hours going over my emails that I've had with Steve Bannon and with Roger Stone? Why does Bob Mueller need to see my emails when I send Roger and Steve clips and we talk about how much we hate people?' he said.

He also repeated over and over again the Trump did not collude with the Russians in the 2016 campaign.

He told the Washington Post in a separate interview: 'The Russians and Trump did not collude. Putin is too smart to collude with Donald Trump.'

The Atlantic published newly revealed private Twitter messages between Stone and WikiLeaks, an account that founder Julian Assange is said to be manned by staff.

A person familiar with the line of questioning told NBC that investigators wanted to know if Stone had ever met Assange, and whether Stone was in fact working for Trump.

He said he spoke to Steve Bannon, who has met with Mueller's team, recently about 'how they both feel'

unberg revealed the extent of Mueller's inquiries, which ranged from all communications he had with Trump's former campaign manager, press secretary, and former foreign policy advisor Carter Page, who Nunberg said he considered a 'moron'

'They asked for communications with Carter Page. Are you giving me a break? Do you think I would ever talk to that moron?' Nunberg told CNN

The group wrote Stone the day after Trump stunned the political world and won the election. ''Happy? We are now more free to communicate,' said the message.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders got asked about the stunning comments minutes after Nunberg made them.

'He hasn't worked at the White House, so I certainly cant speak to him or the lack of knowledge that he clearly has,' she said.

Nunberg acknowledged his behavior was unorthodox and risky but he urged others to join him in defying investigators.

At one point, Tur asked whether Nunberg believed investigators 'have something' on Trump.

'I think they may,' he said. 'I think he may have done something during the election. But I don't know that for sure' - but failed to elaborate.

'By the way, I think my lawyer is going to dump me right now,' he said at one point, repeating a sentiment he told to the Washington Post.

He followed his MSNBC interview with appearances on CNN with Gloria Borger and then Jake Tapper.

He told Tapper that he 'despised' former Trump campaign manger Corey Lewandowski and once again repeated he wasn't a fan of the president.

'I should not have been fired. Roger should not have been treated the way he did. And Trump decided that he loved Corey more than us. That's fine. Okay. It's old business. But the idea that I was colluding with the Russians? That Roger was colluding with the Russians to help Trump? All we were doing was trying to get Corey fired!' he said.

He also revisited the issue of whether Mueller has obtained information that Trump did something wrong

'They know something on him," Nunberg said. 'Perhaps I'm wrong, but he did something,' he said

He later asked Tapper if he should cooperate with Mueller.

'I would cooperate, were it me,' Tapper replied. 'But, you know, I’m a different breed of cat.'

In an interview later with the Associated Press, Nunberg said that despite throwing down the challenge for Mueller to 'arrest me', he backed off his defiance by saying he would probably cooperate in the end.

He also revisited the issue of whether Mueller has obtained information that Trump did something wrong.

'They know something on him,' Nunberg said. 'Perhaps I'm wrong, but he did something,' he said.

Even as he trashed the request for his information, Nunberg said Mueller was an honorable man – and slammed Trump for hosting Russia's former ambassador to the US, Sergey Kislyak, in the Oval Office.

'[Trump] decided to give an interview to Lester Holt the day after he fired James Comey, and then he decided to have to have the Russians in the Oval Office. You'll have to explain that one to me. I'll never understand it,' he said.
