Christie Bridge Probe Nears Conclusion

March 14, 2015 at 10:04 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 10 Comments

The federal investigation “into lane closures at the George Washington Bridge and other alleged abuses at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is expected to wrap up in coming weeks after more than a year,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The investigation has seemed to quicken in recent weeks, with prosecutors returning to witnesses with questions that indicated they were close to finishing this stage of their probe… It remains unclear whether the findings will implicate current or former allies to Gov. Chris Christie and whether prosecutors can answer questions that investigations by the governor’s office and the Democrat-led Legislature haven’t.”

Politico: “An end to the probe could be politically convenient for Christie, whose apparent 2016 presidential aspirations have been hampered by the so-called “Bridgegate” scandal.”
