Following a day of bizarre televised outbursts, CNN’s Erin Burnett confronted former Donald Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg about allegations he’d been drinking, as reported by The Daily Beast. “You’ve done six interviews this past four hours,” Burnett said to Nunberg during an interview, “Talking to you, I have smelled alcohol on your breath.” Nunberg replied, “I have not had a drink.” Burnett then asked whether he had taken “anything else.” Nunberg replied, “No, besides my meds. Anti-depressants. Is that OK?” Nunberg then said that it was unfair he was being pilloried by the Trump camp, saying, “They can say whatever they want, they are pathetic… I didn’t steal from the campaign, I didn’t have an illicit affair with a married man. All I did was work with him for four and a half years, and now I get this crap,” at which point Burnett hastily terminated the conversation.
