Indictments Coming After Guilty Plea in Bridge Scandal

As former Chris Christie ally David Wildstein pleads guilty today in the George Washington Bridge closures, the New York Times reports the U.S. Attorney “is expected to announce other indictments in the case, but it was not clear who would be among those indictments.”

“The exact charges Mr. Wildstein would plead guilty to were not immediately clear. Typically, he would appear in court to answer a series of questions confirming the details he was acknowledging in his plea. That plea will be heavily watched for what Mr. Wildstein indicates about what role – if any — Mr. Christie had in the lane closings, which gridlocked the town of Fort Lee, N.J., over four days, stranding emergency vehicles, commuters and school buses.”
