During his arraignment in federal court this afternoon, former Prince George’s County Executive Jack Johnson pled not guilty to eight criminal charges. Johnson’s attorney, Billy Martin, entered the plea and also requested a jury trial. Johnson’s wife and alleged co-conspirator Leslie Johnson was not in attendance at the arraignment. After entering his plea, Johnson told reporters that he was “extremely disappointed” and didn’t “recognize the person” in the charges. Johnson also promised that he was “going to fight” for his reputation.
