Release of list of 'Bridgegate' co-conspirators delayed
BY JOSEPH AX
A federal judge in New Jersey has extended the deadline to Tuesday for U.S. prosecutors to release a list of unindicted co-conspirators in the "Bridgegate" scandal, while she weighs a request from an individual on the list to keep it sealed.
U.S. District Judge Susan Wigenton in Newark earlier this week had ordered the office of U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman for New Jersey to file the list by noon EDT (1600 GMT) on Friday after a consortium of media companies filed a motion seeking the information.
The court document could reveal how many individuals in the administration of Governor Chris Christie had been aware of the scheme to close down lanes at the George Washington Bridge, a major commuter link to New York City, in what prosecutors say was an act of political retaliation against a local mayor.
Christie, a Republican who ran unsuccessfully for his party's presidential nomination this year, has denied knowledge of the plot.
The people on the list have been described in court filings as individuals who joined the conspiracy but have not been criminally charged.
