"Infighting among Trump's Allies Reveals Cracks in the Co-Conspirator Network"

Alleged co-conspirators of Donald Trump in the plot to overturn the election are starting to turn on each other, with some seeking to distance themselves from the efforts and heap blame onto fellow participants. Attorneys for Rudy Giuliani and Kenneth Chesebro, both identified as co-conspirators in the recent federal indictment of Trump, are now blaming others on the campaign's legal team or people close to Trump. Trump and his lawyers plan to use the "advice of counsel" defense, scapegoating attorneys who were following Trump's instructions. Prosecutors are seizing on these divisions and are putting pressure on the co-conspirators. The feud between Giuliani and Sidney Powell, another alleged co-conspirator, is being probed by prosecutors. It is highly probable that several others will be charged, and Trump is concerned about former advisers turning state's witness.
