埃利斯通过视频会议出席了听证会，爱普施泰因通过电话参加了会议。他们的律师提出了无罪抗辩。
两名被告被法官告知“不得与任何同案被告接触。”
吉姆·拉蒙，一个所谓的假选民，也在周二提出了无罪抗辩。
这三人是亚利桑那州大陪审团今年4月起诉的18人之一，他们涉嫌试图颠覆乔·拜登(Joe Biden)在该州击败前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)的胜利。他们面临九项重罪指控，包括共谋、伪造和欺诈。
埃利斯在佐治亚州的一个类似案件中被指控，并在那起案件中认罪。
前纽约市长鲁迪·朱利安尼、前特朗普律师克里斯蒂娜·鲍勃、亚利桑那州参议员安东尼·克恩和其他几名被指控的人在5月份在马里科帕县法院认罪。
特朗普的前幕僚长马克·梅多斯(Mark Meadows)和特朗普的选举日运营主任迈克·罗曼(Mike Roman)本月早些时候辩称无罪。
Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn, attorney Jenna Ellis plead not guilty in Arizona fake electors case
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 the2020 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.
Ellis was charged in a similar case in Georgia and pleaded guilty in that case.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Trump lawyer Christina Bobb, Arizona state Sen. Anthony Kern and several others charged in the case pleaded not guilty in Maricopa County court in May.
Mark Meadows, Trump's former chief of staff, and Mike Roman, Trump's director of Election Day operations, pleaded not guilty earlier this month.
