Co-defendants turning against Trump as legal battle intensifies

As Donald Trump's criminal cases move closer to trial, some of his aides, allies, and co-defendants are beginning to shift blame onto the former president. Lawyers for individuals connected to Trump are employing a common strategy of portraying themselves as pawns while pointing fingers at Trump as the apparent mastermind. This tactic has been evident in recent court documents and hearings, with some defendants emphasizing Trump's prominent role in their alleged actions. By doing so, they hope to appear less culpable in comparison to the former president. This blame game is expected to intensify as the cases progress, with Trump's co-defendants seeking to distance themselves from potential legal consequences.
