The director of "Die Hard" has pleaded not guilty in Los Angeles to federal charges alleging he lied during the investigation of a Hollywood private eye.
John McTiernan entered his plea Monday to two counts of making false statements to the FBI. He also pleaded not guilty to one count of perjury for allegedly lying to a federal judge while trying to withdraw a guilty plea.
McTiernan had previously pleaded guilty to lying to federal agents about the investigation of private eye Anthony Pellicano. He later withdrew that plea, arguing he didn't have adequate legal representation.
Pellicano is serving a 15-year sentence for bugging the phones of celebrities. He also was convicted of wiretapping a producer on behalf of McTiernan.
