NEWS-BREAK: Gov. Chris Christie Knew about George Washington Bridge Lane Closings as it happened....David Wildstein has evidence to show. Is Christie history??

The attorney of a former Port Authority official who oversaw the George Washington Bridge lane closures has sent a letter claiming that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) was aware of the closures.

The New York Times obtained a copy of the document from Alan Zegas, lawyer of David Wildstein, which was sent to the Port Authority. The letter alleges that the lane closures were the "Christie administration’s order” and that evidence exists that is "contrary" to Christie's Jan. 9 press conference, where he claimed he was unaware.

In addition, the letter also states that “Mr. Wildstein contests the accuracy of various statements that the governor made about him and he can prove the inaccuracy of some." The letter makes no reference as to what those inaccuracies may be, or even if they are related to the George Washington Bridge scandal. While Wildstein's allegation is potentially explosive, it is worth noting that he is currently seeking a plea deal. The letter was written in part to ask the Port Authority to pay his legal fees. more
