Gov. Chris Christie's administration defended itself against comments by a federal judge who suggested a venomous climate inside state government led two aides to orchestrate traffic jams at the George Washington Bridge to punish a political rival.
Two former aides to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie are scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday for their roles in the 2013 George Washington Bridge lane-closing scandal.
Paul Fishman resigned as US Attorney earlier this month and said that while Gov. Chris Christie was not charged in the Bridgegate it did not prove he was not involved in the scandal.
