What does "flip on"below mean?
“Prosecutors use cooperators to work their way up the organizational hierarchy,” Mr. Axelrod said. “Without cooperators, prosecutors are often left with a case against just the worker bees, not the bosses.”
Or, as Mr. Trump said, “They flip on whoever the next highest one is, or as high as you can go.”

| In this case, Trump is upset because some people who know about the things he has done are "flipping" or no longer keeping quiet but telling the truth to prosecutors. His attorney has been said to have offered to "flip" as well. |
