Breaking News from ABCNEWS.com:

JUDGE DENIES SEN. LARRY CRAIG'S REQUEST TO WITHDRAW GUILTY PLEA MADE AFTER CRAIG'S ARREST IN AIRPORT BATHROOM STING OPERATION

http://abcnews.go.com?CMP=EMC-1396

A Minnesota judge on Thursday rejected Sen. Larry Craig's bid to withdraw his guilty plea in an airport sex sting, a major setback in Craig's effort to clear his name and hang onto his Senate seat.

"Because the defendant's plea was accurate, voluntary and intelligent, and because the conviction is supported by the evidence ... the Defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea is denied," Hennepin County Judge Charles Porter wrote.

Craig can appeal Porter's ruling, but it wasn't immediately clear if he would.

When the charges first surfaced he said he would resign by Sept. 30. But then he decided to attempt to reopen his legal case, and said he would stay at least until he found out whether he could withdraw his plea.

Craig has maintained his innocence and said that his actions in the airport bathroom were misconstrued by the police officer who arrested him.
