In New Jersey, Republican Governor Chris Christie is denying involvement in a plot to slow traffic on the George Washington Bridge, after two of his top aides were convicted Friday on all charges in the scandal. Jurors found Bridget Anne Kelly and Bill Baroni conspired to create a traffic jam to punish the mayor of Fort Lee for failing to endorse Christie’s re-election. They each face a maximum sentence of 86 years and plan an appeal. A former ally to Christie, David Wildstein, has testified that Christie knew about the plan ahead of time. This is Governor Christie speaking on ”CBS This Morning.”

Gov. Chris Christie: “If the media and others attack you relentlessly for three years and you cannot defend yourself because you are in the middle of cooperating in the judicial process and cannot stain that process, then if there’s only one line of information, then people will believe the line of information they’re being given.”
