He's mentioned in the indictment but doesn't seem like he fits the "co-defendant" criteria.

(96,882 posts)...Smith wants to go after Trump first and is indirectly inviting the co-conspirators to flip before their charges are filed. Meadows may already be cooperating.

I've said for some time I believe meadows already flipped some time ago. I may have been correct?
It's a great day.
