Fox News host Shepard Smith on Monday observed that former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg was risking jail time by refusing to comply with a subpoena from special counsel Robert Mueller.
Sam Nunberg announced Monday that he was refusing to testify before Mueller's grand jury.
"But he says 'I'm not willing to do this'," Smith reported. "Well, if you don't answer a subpoena with 'Yeah, I'll be there' -- they usually lock you up. That's normally how this works. I don't know what is going to happen here. We shall see."
Later in his show, during an interview with Axios reporter Caitlin Owens, Smith again noted that Nunberg was putting himself in legal jeopardy.
"I don't know if he does not understand how the federal courts work or what it is, but you don't get to really ask the feds why."
"I don't know if anyone knows what he is thinking," Owens replied. "Subpoenas are not optional."
