Two former allies of New Jersey governor and possible Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie have been indicted on federal charges over their role in lane closings on the George Washington Bridge. Christie’s former deputy chief of staff, Bridget Anne Kelly, and former Port Authority executive director, Bill Baroni, were charged with nine counts, including conspiracy to commit fraud, after prosecutors say they conspired to create a traffic jam to punish the mayor of Fort Lee for failing to endorse Christie’s re-election. David Wildstein, another former Port Authority official and a close ally of Christie’s, pleaded guilty to charges including conspiracy to commit fraud for his role in the scandal.
