John Edwards appeared in a Federal Court in North Carolina on Friday, and pleaded not guilty to six felony charges including conspiracy, false statements and campaign law violations.

The two-time U.S. presidential candidate and former North Carolina senator gave a brief statement outside of the court saying: “There’s no question that I’ve done wrong and I take full responsibility for having done wrong. And I will regret for the rest of my life the pain and the harm that I have caused to others but I did not break the law and I have never, ever thought I was breaking the law.”
