No, Oedipus does not trust those around him in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus quickly attributes the worst motives to others. For example, he considers the chorus derelict in not solving King Laius' mysterious murder. He decides that Creon and Teiresias the blind prophet are conspiring to grab all royal powers for themselves when they behave and talk other than within his narrow range of expectation.
