McDonnells plead not guilty to corruption charges | Jury trial set to start July 28th
RICHMOND, VA (WWBT)Former governor Bob McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, pleaded not guilty in court Friday to federal corruption charges.
The judge set a date of July 28 for a 5 to 6 week jury trial for the couple.
The couple was allowed to be released without bond, during a hearing in the federal courthouse in Richmond. A grand jury indicted the pair on 14 charges Tuesday over their relationship with former Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams.
The indictment accuses the McDonnells of taking more than $165,000 in loans and gifts from Williams in exchange for promoting his dietary supplements.
