Ex-Port Authority Official Says 'Evidence Exists'
Christie Knew About Lane Closings

By KATE ZERNIKE

JANUARY 31, 2014

The New York Times

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/01/nyregion/christie-bridge.html?_r=0

The former Port Authority official who personally oversaw the lane closings at the George Washington Bridge, central to the scandal now swirling around Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, said on Friday that evidence exists the governor knew about the lane closings when they were happening.

.

In a letter released by his lawyer, the former official, David Wildstein, a high school friend of Mr. Christies who was appointed with the governors blessing at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which controls the bridge, described the order to close the lanes as the Christie administrations order and said evidence exists as well tying Mr. Christie to having knowledge of the lane closures, during the period when the lanes were closed, contrary to what the governor stated publicly in a two-hour press conference three weeks ago.

.

During his news conference, Mr. Christie specifically said he had no knowledge that traffic lanes leading to the bridge had been closed until after they were reopened. I had no knowledge of this of the planning, the execution or anything about it and that I first found out about it after it was over, he said. And even then, what I was told was that it was a traffic study.

.

The letter does not specify what the evidence was. Nonetheless, it is the first signal that Mr. Christie, a Republican, may have been aware of the closings, and marks a striking break with a previous ally.

.

The letter, sent from Mr. Wildsteins lawyer, Alan Zegas, is to the Port Authoritys general counsel, contesting the agencys decision over the legal fees. But it is clearly meant as a threat to the governor. Indeed, the allegations make up just one paragraph in a two-page letter that otherwise focuses on Mr. Wildsteins demand that his legal fees be paid and that he be indemnified.

.

Mr. Zegas did not respond to requests to discuss the letter, which also consisted of a strong defense of Mr. Wildstein against negative comments Mr. Christie made about him during the news conference. Mr. Wildstein contests the accuracy of various statements that the governor made about him, and he can prove the inaccuracy of some, the letter added.
