NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A former ally of Gov. Chris Christie who pleaded guilty in the George Washington Bridge lane-closing scandal testified Tuesday that he told the governor about the traffic jam while it was underway and that Christie appeared happy about it and joked sarcastically that there was nothing political going on.
David Wildstein, a former
executive at the agency that oversees New York-area bridges and tunnels,
took the stand for the prosecution at the trial of two one-time
Christie allies accused of engineering the four days of gridlock in 2013
to punish a Democratic mayor for not endorsing Christie.
Wildstein's account was the first testimony to suggest that Christie knew about the plot while it was unfolding.
