In more political news, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is again under fire over the George Washington Bridge lane closures. Prosecutors say Christie’s top aides conspired to create a traffic jam to punish the mayor of Fort Lee for failing to endorse Christie’s re-election in 2013. Now, a former Port Authority official and former ally to Christie, David Wildstein, has testified in federal court that Christie knew all about the plan ahead of time. Wildstein says Christie was told about the plan two days before the lane closures began during a September 11 memorial service—and that Christie laughed at the idea.
