Lori Loughlin and her Husband Plead Not Guilty to New Charges

She’s still fighting. Actress Lori Loughlin and her husband have pleaded not guilty to further bribery charges in the sweeping college admissions scandal, according to a new report. The “Full House” star and 11 other parents were slapped with the fresh criminal charge of conspiracy to commit federal program bribery on Oct. 22 — seven months after they were first named in FBI’s “Varsity Blues” operation. The pair were previously warned by prosecutors that they would face additional charges if they didn’t plead guilty, the LA Times reported — but on Friday the two signaled they would keep fighting the case against them, no matter the mounting cost. On Friday, Loughlin, 54, and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, 56 — already facing conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud — once again pleaded not guilty to the additional criminal charge, ABC News reported. The pair were absent in court but on Thursday Loughlin was spotted visiting friends at their home in California. In video obtained by The Post, the actress can be seen wearing a large hat to shield her face — something she has begun regularly sporting in public since she was first charged in March.
