Trump Co-Defendants Urged to Consider Cooperation, Echoing Georgia Case Against Rapper

Former President Donald Trump's 18 co-defendants listed in the Georgia indictment, including Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows, are likely being advised by their lawyers to consider flipping and providing evidence against Trump. The indictment alleges that Trump and his allies attempted to overturn the state's election results through false statements, harassment, and solicitation of officials. All defendants face charges under the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Legal analyst Neal Katyal suggests that Giuliani, Meadows, and attorney Ken Chesebro are particularly vulnerable. The indictment poses financial and professional ruin for the defendants, increasing the likelihood of cooperation with prosecutors.
