The indictment of former President Trump and others in the Georgia election interference case includes 30 unnamed co-conspirators. CNN was able to identify many of these co-conspirators based on clues in the indictment and previous reporting. This includes Trump advisers like Boris Epshteyn and Bernie Kerik, as well as Georgia Republican officials like Burt Jones, the current lieutenant governor. Jones and others served as fake electors as part of the conspiracy. The indictment also connects individuals to the effort to access voting machines in Coffee County, including Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan. In total, the report provides a detailed look at the network of people allegedly involved in the plot to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
