Ex-Christie Aide Will Plead Guilty in Bridge Scandal

David Wildstein, “a former ally of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) who ordered intentional traffic jams near the George Washington Bridge, is scheduled to plead guilty to criminal charges on Thursday,” Bloomberg reports.

“Wildstein is set to appear in federal court in Newark, where grand jurors have heard testimony in secret for months about gridlock over four mornings in Fort Lee, New Jersey, according to the person, who requested anonymity because the matter isn’t public. He would plead guilty to a charging document known as a criminal information, the person said. It was unclear what the specific charges would be.”
