The new indictment against Donald Trump refers to six unindicted co-conspirators. The last time a prosecutor tried flipping people close to Trump, it didn't go too well. According to the new federal indictment against him, brought by Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith, Trump had six criminal co-conspirators. Smith is also overseeing a separate prosecution against Trump and two alleged co-conspirators related to the ex-president's hoarding of government documents. The Manhattan district attorney's office charged Weisselberg and the Trump Organization with a litany of white collar crimes in 2021.
