Trump Claims Christie Knew About Bridge Plot

“On the campaign trail, Chris Christie has largely succeeded in cutting off questions about the George Washington Bridge lane closings with this stock reply: Three separate probes failed to find a shred of evidence linking him directly to the political payback scheme,” the Bergen Record reports.

“But Christie didn’t count on his own erstwhile dining partner Donald J. Trump, who reached his own conclusions without subpoenas or emails or a grand jury. Trump says anything he wants, drawing heavily on hearsay and suspicion. And that’s precisely why Trump is suddenly so dangerous to Christie.”

Said Trump: “The George Washington Bridge — he knew about it. He totally knew.”
