When Hitler or a deputy must move to the nearest conspirator, does a conspirator already in its space count?

The rulebook text supports ignoring same-space conspirators, but an earlier designer reply said the opposite, so the question is unsettled.

The rulebook says no: conspirators in the moving leader's space are ignored when finding the nearest one, so the leader moves to the next nearest conspirator. A designer reply on BGG first said such a conspirator is automatically the closest, so the leader stays put, and a later reply appears to accept the rulebook reading. Treat this as the best reading, not a settled ruling.
