Why does Allen Weisselberg refuse to testify against tRump & family?

Is it because with all the years he worked for FailedCoupGuy and knows lots of his secrets,
like he's had people knocked off to keep them quiet? Just asking the question.


added, Is Weisselberg afraid IQ4.5 will have him knocked off if he testifies against him?

It's just language. His deal with the court means he will do exactly that. tinrobot Aug 2022 #9
Trump has something on him like he does Lindsey Graham and Jarqui Aug 2022 #11

with authorities in investigations in the matters to which he pleads guilty insofar as they may relate to Trump himself.

However I'm not sure this means he refuses to testify in court, which is a different thing.

Possible the OP may've incorrectly conflated the two actions

that he'll testify against the tRump organization but not against tRump and his kids.
Weisselberg knows how revengeful tfg is.

He's agreed to testify against the "Trump Organization", which basically consists of Donald Trump, three of his kids, and a handful of employees.

All major decisions go through Trump or his kids. Testifying against the "organization" is, by extension, testifying against them. But he can use that language to partially shield himself from attacks.
