Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn and former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis pleaded not guilty in Maricopa County court Tuesday morning for their alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Arizona.
Ellis appeared by video conference during the hearing and Epshteyn joined by phone. Their attorneys entered their pleas of not guilty.
The two defendants were told by the judge to "not have contact with any co-defendant."
Jim Lamon, an alleged fake elector, also entered a not guilty plea on Tuesday.
The three were among 18 people an Arizona grand jury indicted in April over their alleged efforts to subvert Joe Biden's victory over former President Donald Trump in the state. They face nine felony counts, including conspiracy, forgery and fraud.
