Trump’s Georgia case lists 30 unindicted co-conspirators: What we know

Editor’s note: This file has been updated to note that Patrick Byrne is the former CEO of Overstock.
The Georgia indictment against former President Trump lists 30 unindicted co-conspirators, who are alleged to have aided in various efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
The individuals were not named or charged, but the list appears to include the remaining fake electors and others who communicated with Trump’s attorneys in the wake of the election.
Based on media reports, court documents and the House Jan. 6 committee’s investigation, the descriptions make some of their identities clear.
Here’s what we know about the 30 unindicted co-conspirators.
Individual 1: Drafted Trump election speech
The first unindicted co-conspirator is mentioned only once but played a role in the first action alleged in the indictment.
On Oct. 31, 2020, the individual allegedly discussed with Trump a draft speech that falsely declared victory and claimed voter fraud.
Prosecutors listed Trump’s Nov. 4, post-Election Day speech as the first of 161 alleged actions that contributed to the months-long racketeering effort.
The House Jan. 6 committee uncovered evidence indicating Tom Fitton, the president of conservative legal group Judicial Watch, had sent a draft Oct. 31 and later discussed it with Trump.
Fitton did not return a request for comment through a spokesperson.
Individual 2: Fake elector
The identity of the second individual remains unclear.
Charging documents indicate they were one of the 16 pro-Trump individuals who signed documents purporting to be one of Georgia’s valid electors.
Unlike many of the others, however, the individual was involved in the post-election efforts much earlier.
Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani left a voicemail for the individual Nov. 15, 2020, according to the indictment. The individual also allegedly received emails about the electors plan in early December.
Individual 3: Boris Epshteyn
The third individual appears to be Epshteyn, a longtime Trump aide.
The indictment first names the individual as appearing at a Nov. 19, 2020, press conference at the Republican National Committee headquarters, at which pro-Trump speakers promoted false claims of fraud.
It lists the individual as appearing alongside Giuliani, Jenna Ellis and Sidney Powell. Giuliani at the press conference had introduced Ephsteyn and two other lawyers to the crowd.
Two emails described in the indictment make Epshteyn stand out among the three, however.
Descriptions of the emails, sent by now-indicted Trump attorneys Kenneth Chesebro and John Eastman, match ones Ephsteyn received that were previously revealed by the House Jan. 6 committee.
Epshteyn did not return a request for comment.
Individual 4: Robert Sinners
The fourth individual appears to be Sinners, who worked as the Trump campaign’s director of Election Day operations in Georgia.
The indictment details Sinners’s alleged involvement with the plot to send the false slate of electors, noting various emails and texts he sent and received.
CNN reporting last year detailed a Nov. 20, 2020, email Sinners received that appears to match that one described in the indictment.
The indictment goes on to mention additional emails on Dec. 12, 2020. When testifying to the House Jan. 6 committee, Sinners described sending what appears to be one of those emails, and the committee published another email that seemingly matches one in the indictment.
Sinners’s broader testimony to the committee also closely tracks the allegations laid out in the indictment.
Sinners now works as communications director for Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R). Raffensperger’s office did not return a request for comment.
Individual 5: Bernard Kerik
Kerik’s attorney, Tim Parlatore, confirmed to The Hill that his client, the former New York City police commissioner who helped lead an investigation into false claims of voter fraud, is the fifth unindicted individual.
The indictment states the individual was present for a meeting between Arizona state legislative leaders and Trump attorneys, including Giuliani and Ellis.

Individual 6: Phil Waldron
Individual 7: Aided in fake electors plot
Individual 8: Burt Jones
Individual 9: Joseph Brannan
Individuals 10 and 11: Carolyn Fisher and Vikki Townsend Consiglio
Individuals 12 through 19: Other fake electors
Individual 20: Michael Flynn or Patrick Byrne
The 20th individual is only mentioned once in the indictment.
They are alleged to be an attendee at a Dec. 18, 2020, White House meeting with Trump, Giuliani, Powell and others, at which plans were discussed to seize voting equipment and appoint Powell as a special counsel.
The existence of the meeting was previously known and was dubbed by Axios the craziest meeting to take place in the Trump White House.
Multiple White House staffers who disagreed with the claims of fraud and pushed back on the various suggestions were present.
But pushing the suggestions at the meeting alongside Giuliani and Powell were Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser, and Byrne, the former CEO of Overstock.
Attorneys for Byrne and Flynn did not return requests for comment.
Individuals 21 and 22: Conan Hayes and Todd Sanders
Individual 23: Involved in pressuring election worker
Individual 24: Aided in Coffee County breach
Individuals 25 and 29: Doug Logan and Jeffrey Lenberg
Individuals 26 and 27: Aided in Coffee County breach
Individual 28: Jim Penrose
Individual 30: Stefanie Lambert
Charging documents indicate the April 22, 2021, email told the data company to send the copied data to the 30th unindicted co-conspirator, described as a Powell-associated attorney.
