That actual situation may have nothing to do with Trump. Here's how many investigations work:
Criminal 1 robs a store and doesn't get caught.
Five years later Criminal 1 is now being investigated for something they may have done more recently that involves Criminal 2.
During the process of the investigation into the actions of 1 and 2, they discover 1's previous crime. They charge Criminal 1 with said crime then make him a deal, "We will let you plead guilty to a much lesser charge for robbing the store if you flip and give us information on Criminal 2."
In order to escape his past, Criminal 1 takes the deal and flips on Criminal 2.
