New evidence was filed Wednesday in the federal lawsuit against former President Donald Trump over his efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeat.

The 165-page document is a page-turner, but it can be difficult to follow. Many names are redacted and replaced with pseudonyms like CC1, short for Co-Conspirator 1, and P76, short for Person 76.

We are here to help you. Below are the core characters, along with a few smaller players who have received little attention so far.

CC1 Rudy Giuliani
