Among them are people who are in Trump’s orbit who advised him on election night 2020 when he said “honestly we won this election.”
Boris Epshteyn
Epshteyn, a lawyer who continues to advise Trump, identified as individual 3, CNN reported.
He appears in the indictment as the recipient of an email from indicted Trump attorney John Eastman, who is accused of calling with Trump to force Vice President Mike Pence to refuse to accept state-certified election votes.
“Better to act boldly and just be challenged,” Eastman wrote to him in an email discovered by the House’s Jan. 6 committee that appears to identify him as the unindicted co-conspirator.
Trump’s longtime aide was reportedly interviewed by special counsel Jack Smith’s detectives. He was arrested in 2021 for groping two women at an Arizona nightclub.

Bernard Kirk
Former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik has been identified as unindicted co-conspirator 5.
His attorney, Tim Parlatore, who previously represented Trump, confirmed that Kerik appears to be the person named, but accused the prosecutor of including him as part of a conspiracy.
“They claim there was a legislative hearing that he attended. There was a meeting he attended. There’s an email that he was cc’d to. That is it. That’s not a conspirator,” he told DailyMail.com.
Kerik is a longtime associate of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who was the second person named in the indictment. He was once a top official at Giuliani partners.
He spoke with investigators from Special Counsel Jack Smith, Parlatore said. But he never testified in Fulton County because Willis “never asked.”
The indictment refers to the official who attended meetings with state lawmakers where Trump and his allies were pushing audits and trying to reverse the results.
Trump pardoned Kerik in 2020. Ten years earlier, Kerik was sentenced to four years in prison on charges of failing to pay taxes and lying to government officials during a political nomination vetting.
Kerik reportedly met with Jack Smith prosecutors. He was a former partner of Giuliani’s

In the days following the election, he promoted several vote-counting conspiracies, collaborating with Giuliani and others.
Person 6 is identified as attending a meeting with Arizona lawmakers in Phoenix along with Giuliani and Trump attorney Jenna Ellis.
Georgia Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones
The indictment also appears to reference a tweet from incumbent Georgia Lt. Governor, Burt Jones.
A Georgia state agency said a special prosecutor will be appointed to investigate Jones after a judge subpoenaed Willis for donating to his Democratic opponent.
Jones was one of 16 Republican voters who served as “dummy” voters, in a central element of the prosecution’s case. The former senator also pushed for a special session that could have helped reverse Joe Biden’s victory in Georgia.
