Donald Trump and Six Co-Conspirators Indicted by Department of Justice for Alleged Efforts to Overturn 2020 Election

Former President Donald Trump has been indicted by the Department of Justice on Tuesday for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The indictment includes six unnamed co-conspirators who aided Trump in his plot.

The identities of the six co-conspirators are not named in the indictment, but details and information provided within have allowed for speculation of their identities. Co-Conspirator 1 is believed to be Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer, due to his involvement in the events leading up to the Jan. 6 insurrection. Co-Conspirator 2 is believed to be Donald Trump Jr., Trump’s son, due to his involvement in the events leading up to the Jan. 6 insurrection. Co-Conspirator 3 is believed to be Ivanka Trump, Trump’s daughter, due to her involvement in the events leading up to the Jan. 6 insurrection. Co-Conspirator 4 is believed to be Eric Trump, Trump’s son, due to his involvement in the events leading up to the Jan. 6 insurrection. Co-Conspirator 5 is believed to be Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s former campaign manager, due to his involvement in the events leading up to the Jan. 6 insurrection. Co-Conspirator 6 is believed to be David Bossie, Trump’s former deputy campaign manager, due to his involvement in the events leading up to the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The charges Trump faces include engaging in a conspiracy to defraud the government, a conspiracy to obstruct the Jan. 6 certification of electoral votes, and a conspiracy against the right to have one’s vote counted.

The indictment of Donald Trump and the six co-conspirators is a major development in the ongoing investigation into the events leading up to the Jan. 6 insurrection. It is yet to be seen what the outcome of the investigation will be, but the indictment is a clear indication that the Department of Justice is taking the matter seriously.
