the link to the interim legislative report and exhibits. Don't go by the misleading and disingenuous articles telling you what the report says, find out for yourself here:

then check out the great analysis done by WNYC that gives a very interesting timeline on the whole text message issue:
Christie, Aide Texted As Bridgegate Cover Story Unraveled
A year ago, a New Jersey legislative committee held a hearing that blew the lid off official explanations of four days of traffic jams at the George Washington Bridge. It would be another month before the cause of the lane closures was traced back to an email from Gov. Chris Christies deputy chief of staff. And the governor still maintains he didnt pay much attention to the controversy until he found out he was lied to by Deputy Chief of Staff Bridget Ann Kelly.
But newly disclosed phone records - supplied by AT&T to the New Jersey legislature and obtained by WNYC - show that Christie's current Chief of Staff, Regina Egea, communicated by cell phone with Gov. Christie 12 times during that hearing on December 9, 2013. The Governor initiated the contact, about 30 minutes into the testimony, and sent a total of three texts to the aide. Egea replied nine times before the testimony concluded. The records show only one other text from Egea to Christie that month, on Christmas Day.
A timeline of the testimony, created by WNYC based on recordings of the hearing and tweets sent that day, shows that around the time of the text messages, witnesses delivered some of their sharpest blows to the Christie administrations version of the Bridgegate events.
