Colbert’s Cable News Car Chase

Stephen Colbert went to town about how Sam Nunberg, one of President Trump’s former advisers, gave numerous interviews on Monday on whether he would comply with a grand jury subpoena from the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller. Nunberg told The Washington Post that he planned to tear up the subpoena live on Bloomberg Television, to which Colbert said: “Smart thinking. Do it on Bloomberg, no witnesses.”

Nunberg, at one point, told Katy Tur of MSNBC that his lawyer was about to “dump” him. Colbert quipped, “Sam, I think your dentist is going to dump you right now.”
