New Jersey Judge Issues Summons for Gov. Chris Christie over Bridgegate

HeadlineOct 14, 2016

In more political news, a New Jersey judge has issued a criminal summons for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie over the 2013 George Washington Bridge lane closure scandal, in which Christie’s top aides are accused of conspiring to create a traffic jam to punish the mayor of Fort Lee for failing to endorse Christie’s re-election. A former ally to Christie, David Wildstein, has testified that Christie knew all about the plan ahead of time. The criminal summons stems from a citizen complaint filed by a retired fireman against Christie accusing him of official misconduct.
