Trump's Loyalty Test: No Financial Support for Georgia Co-Defendants

Former President Donald Trump is reportedly not providing financial assistance to his co-defendants in the Georgia criminal case related to the 2020 presidential election. As the court proceedings begin, the defendants are facing skyrocketing legal bills and are turning to their own online legal defense funds for support. Trump's history of paying for allies' legal counsel and his use of joint defense agreements could create a legal risk for him, as co-defendants may cooperate with authorities against him if they are not supported. Some defendants have launched their own legal defense funds, while others are paying their own fees. Trump's attorneys have indicated that they plan to blame one co-defendant, John Eastman, for giving Trump bad legal advice.
