The director of "Die Hard" has pleaded guilty in federal court in Los Angeles to lying during the investigation of a Hollywood private eye.

John McTiernan entered his plea Monday to two counts of making false statements to the FBI and one count of perjury for lying to a federal judge while trying to withdraw a guilty plea. He faces up to a year in prison.

An e-mail message seeking comment from McTiernan's attorney, Todd Neal, was not immediately returned.

McTiernan 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 celebrities' phones. He also was convicted of wiretapping a producer on behalf of McTiernan.
