. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/pgann29 . .A former official at the center of the traffic scandal that has ensnared New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Friday that theres evidence Christie knew lanes had been closed on a bridge at the time, contradicting Christies insistence otherwise and reigniting a scandal that has threatened his political future.
.A lawyer for David Wildstein, a top appointee at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and longtime Christie friend, said in a letter to the agency that evidence exists tying Christie to knowledge of lane closures on the George Washington Bridge during the period when the lanes were closed, contrary to what the governor stated publicly. The letter also said Wildstein contests the accuracy of various statements Christie made about Wildstein and that he can prove the inaccuracy of some. Wildstein did not say that he personally has evidence of Christies prior knowledge of the lane closures, nor did he detail what that evidence is.
.The letter from Wildsteins lawyer was sent in an effort to get the Port Authority to pay legal fees incurred by an ongoing investigation into the scandal. It is the most serious allegation to date that Christie himself knew lanes had been closed at the time of a traffic jam that snarled a north Jersey town for days last year. Documents disclosed earlier this month revealed the lane closures on the busiest bridge in the world were orchestrated by aides as apparent political payback for the towns mayor not endorsing Christies reelection bid. Christie has apologized, fired a top aide involved and denied any knowledge of a political retribution scheme. But he has also said he didnt know the lanes were closed until after the September incident, and was only told then that it was for a traffic study.
.I dont know what else to say except to tell them that I had no knowledge of thisof the planning, the execution or anything about itand that I first found out about it after it was over, Christie said on Jan. 9.
