Inherited IRA / Trust is named beneficiary

Our IRA customer passed away August 2020. His trust was the named beneficiary of his iRA. His wife is the successor trustee of the trust. His wife and 3 other individuals are the BENEFICIARIES of the trust. The successor trustee (wife) requested distribution from the inherited IRA to each and everyone of the trust beneficiaries. She wanted us to WITHHOLD taxes under each individual beneficiary’s social security number. Is this even possible? Are there any legalities or IRS rules we need to be aware of? Thanks in advance for your help.
