Bernard Kerik was indicted Friday on 16 counts of conspiracy, tax fraud and lying to the White House.
Wearing a navy pinstripe suit, a red tie and a U.S. flag pin in his lapel, he pleaded not guilty and vowed to fight the charges.
His supporters meanwhile have formed “The Bernard Kerik Legal Defense Trust”:http://www.keriklegaltrust.com/index.html to help him.
“Having incurred legal fees in the course of the Bronx and federal investigation and paid a substantial financial penalty when he settled the Bronx case, and having had his business impacted by the intense publicity, he is not in a position to fund a proper defense to this federal case,� reads a section about the trust on its Web site.
There’s another section on Kerik’s heroism and distinguish service, which mentions his nomination for secretary of the Department of Homeland Security but not his reasons for withdrawing his name. And photos of Kerik with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Gov. George Pataki and President George Bush.
