Now Christie, like Cohen, is a former Trump associate trying to take the former president down.
Cohen is rare in the universe of Trump associates since he both turned on Trump and went to prison.
Many of the other Trump aides and associates who faced jail eventually got pardons or clemency and still support the former president.
Trump’s pardon helped Bannon avoid prosecution in the border wall scheme, but Bannon may yet go to prison.
Trump issued the Flynn pardon shortly after losing the 2020 presidential election.
