During an appearance on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight,” former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Weissmann expressed his belief that individuals identified as co-conspirators in the January 6th indictment involving former President Donald Trump are “highly likely” to face indictments in a distinct case.
Anchor Alex Wagner posed a question, asking, “Will there be a new indictment in this case, or do you believe this grand jury action revolves around the unnamed co-conspirators in the initial indictment?”
Weissmann responded, “The likelihood of a new indictment in the January 6th case against Donald Trump appears to be low.

He went on to add, “Additionally, the financial aspect could lead to a distinct set of charges.
It might not necessarily need to implicate Donald Trump directly for that case to proceed.
It’s important to note that this case shares similarities with the charges brought against Steve Bannon and his associates in the ‘We Build the Wall’ case – essentially a fraud case where funds were raised under false pretenses.
