Asbury Park Press reports, “New revelations linking Gov. Chris Christie’s former campaign manager and an ex-Bergen County executive to the Bridgegate scandal spilled out [on September 26] as the government’s star witness took jurors inside the politically motivated plot to paralyze Fort Lee with traffic in 2013. Weeks before he set the scheme in motion, David Wildstein testified that he alerted William ‘Pat’ Schuber, a commissioner of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, of the plan to create gridlock by closing access lanes to the George Washington Bridge.”
Courier-Post (Cherry Hill) reports, “The government’s star witness in the political conspiracy trial of two former allies of Governor Christie, recounted on Monday how in 2011 he identified local access lanes to the George Washington Bridge as a ‘potential leverage point’ against the mayor of Fort Lee.”
