On Friday in court, John Travolta's lawyer Michael McDermott denied attempting to set up one of the defendants involved in a trial related to an alleged extortion attempt.

The AP says McDermott testified that police asked him to meet Bridgewater in a room rigged with hidden cameras, and he thought he couldn’t say no to the authorities.
