Nunberg is the first recognizable Trump campaign affiliate to appear at a grand jury hearing related to Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election by walking through the main entrance of the federal courthouse and heading to the grand jury area. Other witnesses have presumably testified before Mueller's grand jury since it started meeting last July, but none have made as public an appearance. Nunberg did not speak to the press outside the courthouse or on his way into the grand jury area Friday morning. He was accompanied by his lawyer, and a court marshal led them into the grand jury area at 9:30 a.m. Manafort was indicted by a grand jury in late October for foreign lobbying work and other business he conducted prior to his time leading the Trump campaign.
