US EditionTrump threatens to investigate Chris Christie over ‘Bridgegate’
President Trump’s threat to investigate Chris Christie follows Christie’s criticism of Trump’s politicization of justice and occurs amid ongoing legal actions involving former Trump allies.
- On Aug. 25, President Donald Trump threatened to investigate former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie after his criticism during an ABC News' This Week appearance.
- The 2013 Bridgegate lane closures involved Bridget Anne Kelly and Bill Baroni closing George Washington Bridge lanes to punish a mayor, with their convictions later overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court.
- Trump amplified his criticism on Truth Social, writing that `Chris refused to take responsibility for these criminal acts` and calling Christie "sloppy," believing he "got away with murder."
- By deferring to the attorney general, Trump signaled he would let Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Justice Department decide on reopening Bridgegate, amid critics linking this to politicized probes like last week's FBI searches of John Bolton's home and office.
- The threat continues a pattern in which Trump targets former allies like Chris Christie, with Bridgegate's revival risking further harm to Christie's reputation and impacting Republican Party dynamics.
