The latest Trump indictment lists 6 unnamed co-conspirators. Here's what we know

Despite prosecutors listing six of his alleged co-conspirators, Donald Trump will be standing alone in Washington, D.C.'s federal courthouse in his first court appearance since being indicted Tuesday.

Former President Donald Trump remains the only person charged in an alleged conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results. He's set to make his first court appearance later Thursday afternoon at the Washington, D.C., federal courthouse.

Trump will be standing alone as he appears in court. This is despite the fact that federal prosecutors list six other individuals that they say served as crucial roles in this alleged conspiracy. The six unnamed allies have not been criminally charged or officially named by prosecutors.

An attorney for Trump ally Rudy Giuliani, Robert J. Costello, confirmed to the New York Times that he "appears" to be co-conspirator 1. And John Eastman, a former Trump attorney, has said he is co-conspirator 2.

The identity of the rest of the co-conspirators couldn't be immediately confirmed. However, information includedthe former president's 2020 election campaign and subsequent efforts to overturn the results like attorney Sidney Powell and former U.S. Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark.
