Donald Trump’s co-conspirators may not have been named or charged in the indictment for 2020 election interference special prosecutor Jack Smith dropped Tuesday, but that doesn’t mean they’re in the clear for helping to foment and spread Trump’s “prolific lies” about the election. None of them should be feeling too secure.
Though they are not named, five of the six co-conspirators are obvious from the information included in the indictment: Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Sidney Powell, Jeffrey Clark, and Kenneth Chesebro. They’re all lawyers—they know they’re not off the hook. In a brief statement after the indictment was announced, Smith said he will “seek a speedy trial so that our evidence can be tested in court and judged by a jury of citizens.” Focusing on Trump as the only defendant, for now, will make that easier.
