This won’t be good for Chris Christie’s presidential ambitions.
The law firm Gibson Dunn has billed New Jersey roughly $8 million since it was hired to defend Gov. Chris Christie (R) for the “Bridgegate” scandal, according to the Associated Press…
The governor has denied having any knowledge of the decision to close lanes on the bridge, which connects New Jersey and New York.
Critics have alleged Christie used the closures to punish the Democratic mayor of Fort Lee, N.J., for not endorsing him in the 2013 gubernatorial election.
Gibson Dunn issued a 350-page report in 2014 exonerating Christie of any wrongdoing in the scandal.
