WASHINGTON (AP) New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says he is thinking about running for president and that by the time 2016 arrives the controversy over last years George Washington Bridge lane closures will be a footnote.
Christie told a conference in Washington that after months of investigation there hasnt been one suggestion that I knew anything about orders from staff aides to close access lanes that caused traffic snarls in Fort Lee.
When asked by CBS Bob Schieffer if hes thinking of running for president and when hell make a decision, Christie said, Yes, and later.
Christie also said that if Republicans retake the Senate it could lead to a more productive Washington during President Barack Obamas final two years in office. Obama could make progress on trade negotiating authority, for example.

(15,675 posts)Are there any investigations going on? Any thing in the works? I was under the impression that he was done for, but if he's talking 2016, it doesn't seem like anything is going to happen.
