Christie Ally To Plead Guilty
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A person with knowledge of the case says a former political ally of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is scheduled to plead guilty for his role in politically motivated traffic tie-ups near the George Washington Bridge in 2013.
David Wildstein was an official at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey at the time of the tie-ups. He arrived at federal court in Newark around 8:45 a.m. Friday with his attorney. A court hearing is set for 11 a.m.
Two of the three access lanes in Fort Lee to the bridge were closed for four mornings in September 2013, causing jams throughout the streets.
Wildstein resigned months later amid revelations that he ordered lanes closed in Fort Lee for political retribution.
Christie declined to comment this morning as he left a hotel in McLean, Virginia, after speaking at a technology breakfast.
