Mention of six alleged co-conspirators in Donald Trump’s latest federal indictment has sparked speculation about who else might be targeted by Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecutors investigating attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election result.
One viral thread posted on X, formerly Twitter, following the indictment that has been viewed nearly 1 million times in five days suggested that could include congress members.
PoliticsVideoChannel posted on August 3: «Looks like special counsel Jack smith may indict the GOP members of congress who assisted Trump in conspiring ‘to overturn the presidential election and overthrow the government.'»
It continued «Jack Smith’s decision to charge only Trump and list a half dozen co-conspirators may be an indication that this is just the initial indictment and that Smith is going to try and put pressure on the other six to move over to become cooperating witnesses.»
Among those named were Republican Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Republican South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham.
Little is known about PoliticsVideoChannel, an account on X that links to a website that carries a small number of mostly sensational stories.
Cruz, the thread stated, was connected by «ties to [former Trump attorney] John Eastman» and Graham by «phone calls» he reportedly made to a «Georgia official about the 2020 election.»
Former President Trump pleaded not guilty last Thursday to four felony counts arising from the Jan.
