In 2014 Stepien, 42, rose to national attention when he was publicly named and shamed by the New Jersey governor, Chris Christie, for his role in “Bridgegate”, one of the pettiest political scandals to cause real-life suffering in recent memory.

Responding in 2014 to the release of emails which revealed the traffic jam was a deliberate act of revenge, Christie said he was “embarrassed and humiliated by the conduct of some of the people on my team”.

“I was disturbed by the tone and behavior and attitude of callous indifference that was displayed in the emails by my former campaign manager, Bill Stepien,” Christie said at the time.

“And reading that, it made me lose my confidence in Bill’s judgment. And you cannot have someone at the top of your political operation who you do not have confidence in.”
