Chris Christie’s political confidant and top appointee to the Port Authority, David Samson, warned New York agency officials they ‘made a big mistake’ in the leaking [of] the “Fort Lee issue” to reporters.” The report adds, “Scott Rechler, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s top appointee to the bi-state agency’s board of commissioners, testified Christie and Cuomo talked about a month after the Fort Lee lane closures, and that Christie expressed aggravation over executive director Patrick Foye and his belief that [the] New York appointee was leaking information to reporters.”
