Notable associates of former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to forgery, fraud and conspiracy charges in the Arizona “fake electors” case. Jenna Ellis, a former Trump attorney, Boris Epshteyn, a Trump adviser, and Jim Lamon, a 2022 Republican candidate for Senate, joined the 15 other defendants in pleading not guilty in the case.

PHOENIX — Jenna Ellis, an attorney for Donald Trump during his 2020 presidential campaign, pleaded not guilty Tuesday in the “fake electors” case in Arizona, where she and 17 other defendants face forgery, fraud and conspiracy charges related to alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. All 18 of those charged have pleaded not guilty in Arizona. Ellis in 2023 pleaded guilty in the Georgia election interference case in which Trump was also charged.

The state Republican Party documented the signing of the certificate in a social media post and sent it to Congress and the National Archives. Former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows were also among those charged by a state grand jury in April in connection with the plan. Ellis was a senior legal adviser for the Trump campaign from early 2019 until shortly after he left office in January 2021.
