Loyalty Tested as Closest Trump Confidants Become Witnesses

Both Allen Weisselberg, the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, and David Pecker, the tabloid executive who helped squash damaging allegations of infidelity against Trump, are reported to have traded their access to some of his most private matters for some level of criminal immunity. It's unknown what Weisselberg and Pecker have told prosecutors, or if they have information that can deepen Trump's legal or political jeopardy.

The two men both featured in federal charges against Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, who pleaded guilty on Tuesday. Cohen told a court in New York that the president had directed him to violate campaign finance law and make hush-money payments to two women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump.
