Trump's election indictment doesn't name his alleged co-conspirators. These are most likely who they are.
Special Counsel Jack Smith's indictment of Donald Trump goes into detail about six alleged Jan. 6 co-conspirators even if it doesn't name them.

Co-Conspirator 1: Rudy Giuliani
The indictment describes the first co-conspirator as “an attorney who was willing to spread knowingly false claims and pursue strategies that the Defendant's 2020 re-election campaign attorneys would not.”......
Co-Conspirator 2: John Eastman
Conservative lawyer John Eastman can be identified as Co-Conspirator 2, who is referred to in the indictment as an "attorney who devised and attempted to implement a strategy to leverage the Vice President's ceremonial role overseeing the certification proceeding to obstruct the certification of the presidential election."
The indictment alleges that Co-Conspirator 2 circulated a "two-page memorandum" outlining the plan. According to Bob Woodward and Robert Costa in their book "Peril," that memo was authored by Eastman. CNN later reported on the memo as well......
Co-Conspirator 3: Sidney Powell
The indictment appears to identify former Trump attorney Sidney Powell as Co-Conspirator 3.
It states the co-conspirator filed a lawsuit against the governor of Georgia on Nov. 25, 2020, falsely alleging “massive election fraud” accomplished through voting machine software and hardware.

Co-Conspirator 4 is outlined as “a Justice Department official who worked on civil matters and who, with the Defendant, attempted to use the Justice Department to open sham election crime investigations and influence state legislatures with knowingly false claims of election fraud.”
The fourth co-conspirator can be pinpointed as Jeffrey Clark, a high-ranking Justice Department official in Trump’s administration. Clark is known to have drafted letters with false claims of election fraud to coerce officials in key battleground states to open investigations into their elections.......
Co-Conspirator 5: Kenneth Chesebro
Co-Conspirator 5 is described as a Trump attorney who helped devise and attempted to implement “a plan to submit fraudulent slates of presidential electors to obstruct the certification proceeding.”
The plan, the indictment said, capitalized on ideas presented in memos drafted by Co-Conspirator 5, who was assisting Trump’s legal efforts related to a recount in Wisconsin aimed at overturning President Joe Biden’s win in the key swing state......
Co-Conspirator 6: An unknown 'political consultant'
The identity of this co-conspirator remained one of the big mysteries Wednesday, with no immediately apparent clues in the indictment to the identity or even gender.
