Chris Christie's Bridge Scandal, Explained
New emails suggest a senior aide to Christie-
a 2016 presidential contender-
ordered a nasty traffic jam in Fort Lee as political payback.

As Sokolich began speaking to press after the closures, Bill Sepien,
Christie's campaign manager wrote, "The mayor is an idiot."
.
"It will be a tough November for this little Serbian," Wildstein wrote to
Sepien, apparently referencing Sokolich's nationality. Elsewhere in the
documents, Bill Baroni, the deputy executive director of the Port
Authority, refers to Sokolich as "Serbian." Sokolich is Croatian.
.
UPDATE 1: On Wednesday, Gov. Chris Christie released this statement:
.
"What I've seen today for the first time is unacceptable. I am outraged
and deeply saddened to learn that not only was I misled by a member of my
staff, but this completely inappropriate and unsanctioned conduct was made
without my knowledge. One thing is clear: this type of behavior is
unacceptable and I will not tolerate it because the people of New Jersey
deserve better. This behavior is not representative of me or my
Administration in any way, and people will be held responsible for their
actions."
.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.),* the chairwoman of the Democratic
National Committee, replied to Christie's statement, saying, "These
revelations are troubling for any public official, but they also indicate
what we've come to expect from Governor Christie-when people oppose him,
he exacts retributionAnd when anyone dares to look into his
Administration, he bullies and attacks." (Return to the top.)
.
UPDATE 2: The Christie administration's decision to create a massive
traffic jam by closing two access lanes to the George Washington Bridge
resulted in delayed response times for local emergency responders in four
different emergencies, according to Fort Lee's EMS chief.
.
In one case, the Bergen Record reports, the traffic jam slowed down
paramedics as they tried to reach an unconscious 91-year-old woman. The
woman later died in the hospital, though EMS officials say her death was
not a direct result of the delays. In another case, it took paramedics
seven to nine minutes-double the normal time-to reach a car accident where
four people sustained injuries. Read more about the delays here. (Return
to the top.)
UPDATE 3, Thursday, Jan. 9, 10:42 a.m. EST: The US attorney for New Jersey
will open an inquiry into the bridge scandal, the New York Times reports.
.
UPDATE 4, Thursday, Jan. 9, 11:27 a.m. EST: In a press conference,
Christie announced that he fired his deputy chief of staff, Bridget Anne
Kelly, for her involvement in planning the Fort Lee lane closures. He also
said that he has instructed his longtime campaign manager Bill Stepien,
who Christie says withheld details of the bridge scandal from him, to
withdraw his name from consideration for chair of the New Jersey
Republican Party. "I am embarrassed and humiliated by the conduct of some
of the people on my team," he said.
.
UPDATE 5, Thursday, Jan. 9, 11:47 a.m. EST: A judge has ruled that David
Wildstein, the former Port Authority official who ordered the lane
closures and whose emails and text messages were released on Wednesday,
must comply with a subpoena to testify before a panel of state lawmakers
investigating the bridge scandal, NorthJersey.com reports.
