Two former aides to Christie were convicted of creating an epic traffic jam at the George Washington Bridge in September 2013, for what prosecutors said was political revenge, capping a trial that cast doubt on Christie’s claims he knew nothing about the scheme.
Christie’s former deputy chief of staff, and Bill Baroni, a Christie appointee to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, plotted with Christie ally David Wildstein to close lanes at the bridge and create gridlock in order to punish the Democratic mayor of Fort Lee, Mark Sokolich, for not endorsing Christie for re-election.
The gridlock at the foot of the nation’s busiest bridge, which connects New Jersey to New York City, began on the first day of school and held up commuters, school buses and emergency vehicles.
