Brad Raffensperger

\n

Georgia Secretary of State

\n\n
\n\n

Ryan Germany

\n

General Counsel for Secretary of State's office

Frances Watson

\n

\n

Watson, who now works for the Georgia Department of Revenue, was the chief investigator for the Secretary of State’s office when she was contacted by Trump in December 2020.

\n\n
\n\n
\n\n

Brian Kemp

\n

Georgia's Governor

\n\n
\n\n
\n\n

Lindsey Graham

\n

Republican Senator from South Carolina

\n

Graham, one of Trump’s top allies in the U.S. Senate, placed a call to Raffensperger days after the November election as election officials were conducting a recount and audit of the presidential race.

\n\n

Byung \"BJay\" Pak

\n

U.S. Attorney

\n\n
\n\n

Bobby Christine

\n

U.S. Attorney

\n

Once top prosecutor for the Southern District of Georgia, Christine was briefly appointed acting U.S. attorney for the Northern District after Pak exited the role.

\n
\n\n
\n\n

David Shafer

\n

Chairman of Georgia's Republican Party

\n

Shafer organized an alternate slate of Georgia presidential electors that voted for Donald Trump for president. Shafer’s electors were not legally valid, but Trump sought to have them counted. Shafer also authorized unsuccessful lawsuits challenging state election rules and results.

\n
\n\n
\n

And others...
