Trump's Inner Circle Crumbles as Allies Seek Plea Deals and Flip on Him

Donald Trump's closest allies, including Mark Meadows, John Eastman, and Rudy Giuliani, have not been offered plea deals in the Georgia case where they are charged with conspiring to overturn the 2020 election results. This has raised concerns among the group that prosecutors are forcing them to trial vindictively. While some co-defendants have accepted plea agreements, the lack of offers to Trump's top allies has led them to reconsider their legal strategy and consider options such as seeking an expedited trial or severing their cases. Prosecutors have discussed plea deals with at least seven co-defendants, but it remains unclear whether they will accept. The Fulton county district attorney's office may be strategically moving from lower-level defendants upwards, where each defendant provides evidence against the next targets.
