Former aide to Chris Christie text that he ‘flat out lied’ in George Washington Bridge lane-closing scandal
A transcript of the text is contained in court filings submitted late on Tuesday night by lawyers for Bill Baroni, who faces trial next month with Christie’s ex-deputy chief of staff for allegedly helping to orchestrate the September 2013 lane closures.
The closures were meant to create traffic jams in the city of Fort Lee to punish its Democratic mayor for not endorsing the Republican governor, officials say.
