As much as I don't want to believe the rumors about Kushner and such, there is a lot of kayfabe in politics and I've seen it first hand in the Trump administration.
Way back at CPAC 2017, I was among those who watched Steve Bannon give a speech about his work for the Trump administration, how dedicated he was, how good he and the president got along. Etc etc. A few weeks later, Bannon was out. My father tried to explain this to me as "oh, well Trump needed him on the outside" but this is bullshit. Something happened inside the White House that just wasn't working. Nobody betrayed nobody, but Bannon didn't give up an opportunity to work as Chief Strategist to instead go be a niche conservative talking head just because Trump needed another cheerleader outside. So what he said at CPAC that year just ended up carrying the opposite meaning.
Trump is indeed under pressure to concede right now. His family is likely worried he'll spend their entire fortune on lawfare.
