Trump's election indictment doesn't name his alleged co-conspirators. These are most likely who they are - USA Trending Blog
Though the indictment does not name them, it provides details about each alleged co-conspirator and their actions, allowing most of them to be identified when combining the charging information with what has already been made public about the events surrounding Jan. 6, 2021.
It could not be determined Wednesday why the office of the special counsel, Jack Smith, did not charge any of the alleged co-conspirators in the indictment, which also noted there were other co-conspirators "known and unknown" to the grand jury In Washington, D.C. that handed up the indictment.
Smith also didn't mention them when speaking briefly about the indictment on Tuesday, instead urging the American public to read all of its 45 pages. It's possible the grand jury could return a superseding indictment in this case later, with additional co-defendants. That's what happened in the classified documents case against Trump that the special counsel's office is also investigating, according to former Trump White House special counsel Ty Cobb and other legal analysts.
One possibility, according to Cobb and other analysts, is that Smith and his team might be putting pressure on them to cooperate before criminally charging them. Leaving their names out "signals two things," Cobb said. "One is that the grand jury is still working" and is looking at additional charges.
