Chris Christie still in tough spot with Bridgegate scandal

Description

A federal judge Friday delayed the on release the names of the suspected Bridgegate conspirators.Judge Susan Wigenton postponed the release until Tuesday after lawyers for a "John Doe" filed a last-minute motion to stop it from being revealed.They contended that would tarnish their client as part of a criminal conspiracy to discipline the mayor of Fort Lee for not endorsing Gov. Chris Christie's re-election by deliberately tying up traffic on the George Washington Bridge.Most people suspected of being part of the scheme are believed to be Christie's allies.And that puts Christie, who has long insisted he had nothing to do with the politically damaging scandal, in a tough spot — especially now that he's heading GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump's transition team.

  • Chris Christie On Trump's Legal Hijinks: 'It's Absurd'

    Business Insider reports former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Sunday had sharp words for President Donald Trump's legal team. Christie told Martha Radditz on ABC's 'This Week' that the team's approach to overturning the election results was 'an absurdity.' It's an absurd idea to think that any state, or any number of states, no matter how good they are, can challenge another state's right to run the election as they see fit. Chris Christie Former Governor of the State of New Jersey Friday, the Supreme Court declined to hear the GOP-backed lawsuit brought by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton due to lack of standing.

They allege fraud outside the courtroom, but inside the courtroom they don't plead fraud and they don't argue fraud. Chris Christie
