NYT Suggests This Adviser May Be Trump Indictment’s Sixth Co-Conspirator

The other five co-conspirators are believed to be Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Sidney Powell, Jeffrey Clark, and Kenneth Chesebro.

While Donald Trump’s latest indictment for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election doesn’t name his six alleged co-conspirators, it wasn’t too hard to pin down the first five: Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Sidney Powell, Jeffrey Clark, and Kenneth Chesebro. But co-conspirator 6, a political consultant whose description in the indictment could fit a number of people, remained a mystery. Now, a Wednesday report from The New York Times suggests that Trump’s 2020 strategic adviser Boris Epshteyn could very well be the sixth co-conspirator. While The Times wasn’t definitive that Epshteyn was co-conspirator 6, The Times reviewed a Dec. 7, 2020, email from Epshteyn to Giuliani that is similar to one described in the indictment—between co-conspirator 1 and co-conspirator 6. The indictment discusses a conversation between the pair about “attorneys who could assist in the fraudulent elector effort” and mentions co-conspirator 6 identifying attorneys in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Epshteyn’s lawyer declined to comment to the Times.
