Sam Nunberg is a Republican policy analyst. He was an advisor to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. Nunberg was let go from the campaign staff in August 2015 following a Business Insider report on racially provocative social media posts. Nunberg previously worked for the Middle East Forum, the American Center for Law and Justice and as U.N. delegate for the European Centre for Law and Justice. ^[1]

While in law school at the Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center, am Sunberg supported the Mitt Romney presidential campaign as the chair of Students for Mitt NYC. After law school, in 2009, he began work as the deputy political director for the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ). ACLJ is a d/b/a (Doing Business As) for Christian Advocates Serving Evangelism, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizationadvocating for "the ideal that religious freedom and freedom of speech are inalienable, God-given rights." The ACLJ is partnered with the European Centre for Law and Justice, where Nunberg also worked as a delegate to the U.N. in New York City.

From 2012 to 2014, Nunberg worked as the director of the Legal Project at the Middle East Forum, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

The project was designed "to protect researchers and analysts who work on the topics of terrorism, terrorist funding, and radical Islam from lawsuits designed to silence their exercise of free speech."

The mission of the Middle East Forum, as stated on its website, is the following: "The Middle East Forum promotes American interests in the Middle East and protects Western values from Middle Eastern threats."

Nunberg is also a close associate of Roger Stone, a high-profile Republican operative known for his use of opposition research.

He and Stone co-wrote a 2015 article on Hillary Clinton for Breitbart News. ^[1]

Nunberg had advised Donald Trump since early 2014.

In February 2014, Nunberg arranged for Buzzfeed writer McCay Coppins to write a profile on Trump for the website.

When it was published, the profile cast Trump in a negative light, calling him "a man startled by his suddenly fading relevance — and consumed by a desperate need to get it back."

When the article appeared, Nunberg was fired.

[11] In April 2014, however, Nunberg was rehired to his same position.

On June 16, 2015, Trump announced his bid for the presidency at Trump Tower in New York City.

Nunberg remained on the campaign team as an advisor.

Nunberg was again fired from the campaign in August 2015.

Business Insider reported on Nunberg's history of racially charged and provocative social media activities dating back to 2007. The report noted that Nunberg had a history of attacking African American leaders, like Al Sharpton, and President Barack Obama: "Among other things, Nunberg called Obama a 'Socialist Marxist Islamo Fascist Nazi Appeaser' and 'Farrakahn's Messiah.'" According to NBC News, Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski called Nunberg a "short-time consultant with the campaign." Nunberg was terminated on August 2, 2015. ^[1]

In February 2018, Nunberg said that he was subpoenaed to go before a grand jury and calls for him to preserve documents from November 1st, 2015.

Nunberg has called the request ridiculous and is unlikely to appear at the grand jury, risking to have a bench warrant issued for his arrest.

Although he said that he is not a fan of Trump and says Mueller may have something on him, Nunberg said that Mueller's investigation is a witch-hunt.
