LOS ANGELES (AP) - A Los Angeles federal grand jury has indicted a Hollywood director who pleaded guilty to lying to federal agents investigating a wiretapping case and later withdrew his plea.
John McTiernan, who directed “Die Hard” and “Predator,” was indicted Friday on two counts of making false statements to the FBI about private investigator Anthony Pellicano and one count of perjury. A phone message for his attorney, S. Todd Neal, was not immediately returned.
The perjury charge accuses him of lying to a federal judge while trying to withdraw his guilty plea.
Pellicano was convicted of wiretapping producer Charles Roven for McTiernan.
