How We Know the Identities of 5 of the 6 Trump ‘Co-Conspirators’
The new Trump indictment only goes after the former president—at least for now—but that doesn’t mean he’s the only person who may have broken the law.
Special Prosecutor Jack Smith likely decided to keep the indictment narrowly targeted at Trump only, so he could expedite the case and not muddle a courtroom with separate but related defendants. The indictment, however, also describes six “co-conspirators” who, while not charged Tuesday, will likely face charges themselves at some point.
While Smith doesn’t name these six co-conspirators, he provides enough clues to decipher the identities of at least five of them. (There are a few good guesses for the sixth co-conspirator, but without the ability to sufficiently narrow it down to just one person, we won’t be speculating, much to the relief of our lawyers.)
