Boris Epshteyn, a close adviser to Donald Trump, pleaded not guilty to election subversion charges in Arizona. The indictment alleges a scheme to prevent the lawful transfer of the presidency by fraudulently voting for Trump. Epshteyn, along with other defendants including Mark Meadows and Rudy Giuliani, have all pleaded not guilty. Jenna Ellis, another Trump attorney, also pleaded not guilty in the "fake electors" case in Arizona. The charges stem from efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. Epshteyn, Ellis, and James Lamon, a former Senate candidate, face nine felony charges related to attempting to overturn Trump's election loss in Arizona. The case involves submitting fake electors for Trump and obstructing the certification of election results. Trump himself was not charged but referred to as an unindicted co-conspirator. Ellis previously pleaded guilty in a similar case in Georgia. The trials for Epshteyn, Ellis, and Lamon are scheduled for November 14.
