Two former Christie allies found guilty on all counts in Bridgegate trial

By Ryan Hutchins

Jurors have found two former allies of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie guilty of closing lanes to the George Washington Bridge in what prosecutors had alleged was an act of political retribution.

The jurors deliberated all week before delivering a verdict on Friday morning, saying in U.S. District Court that they found Bill Baroni, a former top official at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and Bridget Anne Kelly, a former deputy chief of staff to Christie, guilty on all counts.

The two, who were indicted last May on charges of conspiracy, fraud and civil rights violations, face up to 20 years in prison under the most serious counts.

They were convicted of closing several local access lanes to the bridge — the world’s busiest — and creating days of gridlock in Fort Lee, where the span is located. Prosecutors said it was a political revenge plot against a Democratic mayor who refused to endorse Christie’s 2013 reelection campaign.

Heard Christie has less than a 30% approval rating in NJ.


Another political career ruined by Trump.

Speaking of someone who might be under indictment, Christie's hope of a cabinet position just got flushed.

(CNN)Two former officials linked to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's office were found guilty on all charges Friday in connection with the closure of lanes in 2013 on the George Washington Bridge in an act of alleged political retribution, the fallout for which has come to be known as Bridgegate.

Bridget Anne Kelly, the former deputy chief of staff to Christie, and Bill Baroni, the former deputy executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, both faced seven counts of various charges including conspiracy, fraud, and civil rights deprivation.

The verdict is a major setback in Christie's political career, following a controversy that spans nearly three years and put a significant dent in the Garden State Republican's presidential ambitions. Christie is heading planning for Republican nominee Donald Trump's transition if he wins the presidency.
