Trump legal advisers Jenna Ellis and Boris Epshteyn plead not guilty in Arizona 'fake electors' case
SUMMARY
Jenna Ellis, a former attorney for Donald Trump's 2020 campaign, pleaded not guilty to forgery, fraud, and conspiracy charges in Arizona's "fake electors" case. She and 17 others have been accused of trying to 'overturn' the 2020 election results. Ellis previously pleaded guilty in the Georgia election interference case. Other defendants, including Trump advisers Boris Epshteyn and Jim Lamon, also pleaded not guilty. The charges stem from a 2020 meeting where Trump supporters allegedly signed a certificate claiming to be Arizona's electors. Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows were also charged. Ellis expressed 'deep remorse' during her 2023 guilty plea and faced professional sanctions in Colorado.
