Christie Doesn’t Remember Getting Text on Bridge Traffic

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said “he doesn’t recall receiving a text message from a top aide in December as talk of the controversial lane closings at the George Washington Bridge intensified,” the Newark Star Ledger reports.

“Regina Ega, whom the Republican governor has named his next chief of staff, testified last month before a state legislative committee that she texted Christie about testimony given by Port Authority officials concerning the lane closings but later deleted the message.”

Said Christie: “I have no recollection of her ever sending me a text. So I can’t remember what it was over.”
