The Fickle Loyalty of Trump's Allies

Former President Donald Trump is facing legal challenges from former allies who have turned against him. Michael Cohen, Trump's former personal lawyer and fixer, testified in court, calling Trump a liar and stating that he had acted at Trump's direction. Other ex-loyalists, including Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, and Kenneth Chesebro, who worked with Trump's campaign, have also cooperated in a criminal case in Georgia. Trump's relationships with his allies have often been one-sided, with him disavowing them when they face legal trouble. The loyalty pledged to Trump is now being tested as his former allies cooperate with authorities seeking to hold him accountable.
