it doesn't -- and jake, i've watched your news reports. you know it's not true. he talked about it the week before. and i don't 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 don't know why he went around trying to hide. he shouldn't have. >> reporter: nunberg said he's already been interviewed for five and a haulf hours by the special counsel, and that why should he have to turn over more? >> they wanted every single e-mail i had with roger stone and with steve bannon. why should i hand them e-mails from november 1st, 2015? >> reporter: nunberg, who was fired from the trump campaign,.
