 David Wildstein, a long-time Christie acquaintance and one of his
appointees at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which
manages the George Washington Bridge connecting New Jersey and New
York City, resigned from his post after it emerged he oversaw a
politically inspired closure of the bridge in September. On Friday,
an attorney for Wildstein said "evidence exists" Christie knew of
closures when they were happening.
"Bottom line — David Wildstein will do and say anything to save
David Wildstein," said the email from Christie's office to friends
and supporters, which was posted on the political news website
Politico.com and confirmed by Colin Reed, a spokesman for the
governor.
