Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie warned Donald Trump's legal team that their client would eventually throw them "under the bus" to save himself.
During an interview on Fox News, host Howard Kurtz noted that three of Trump's former lawyers — Kenneth Chesebro, Sidney Powell, and Jenna Ellis — had pleaded guilty in a Georgia election interference case.
"Won't his former lawyers — Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell — have credibility problems because they insisted they were innocent and now say they committed crimes related to election fraud?" Kurtz asked Christie.
"That's what happens in every criminal trial where you have multiple co-defendants," Christie, a former prosecutor, explained. "Everyone starts by pleading not guilty. And then as the trial becomes closer, they realize the reality of their situation, which is they are guilty, and then they look to plead."
"So look, these are three lawyers that Donald Trump, Ken Chesbro, Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, these are folks that Donald Trump himself selected to have as part of his legal team, sent out social media posts saying they were an amazing legal team," he added. "I guarantee you now he'll throw every one of them under the bus because that's what he does."
Christie noted that Trump has not disputed the conduct he has been charged with in Georgia.
"He did what they're saying he did," he insisted.
