N.J. Chris Christie is still mulling a presidential run, but he’s still plagued by fallout from the Bridgegate scandal. The latest problem? An accusation he violated grand jury secrecy rules.
The accusation comes from David Wildstein, a central figure in the Bridgegate scandal. The New York Times reports: “Mr. Wildstein’s statement, in a civil case separate from the federal prosecution in the bridge case, offers the first insider confirmation of a long-rumored tale of New Jersey political corruption, and places Mr. Christie at the center of it. It also portrays the governor, a former United States attorney, casually revealing information about a grand jury proceeding he had overseen, which violates federal law.”
According to Wildstein, the breaking of grand jury secrecy happened when Christie convened some of his senior staffers and ordered the firing of Arthur Cifelli, who held the double titles of deputy superintendent of the Port Authority Police Department and deputy director of security, in order to make room for another New Jersey figure whose political seat Christie wanted open for Republicans.
