Bridgegate trial: Fort Lee police chief describes clandestine meeting with GWB manager
As testimony got under way at the Bridgegate trial in federal court on Tuesday, Fort Lees chief of police described a clandestine meeting he had in a municipal parking lot with the general manager of the George Washington Bridge on the first day of the lane closures that snarled traffic at the worlds busiest bridge for five mornings in September 2013 and ultimately derailed the presidential hopes of Governor Chris Christie.
Durando told me to meet him in the municipal lot, dont come in the building or on to Port Authority property, Bendul said.
Bendul told the court that Durando seemed afraid and that he told Bendul if he was asked about the meeting he would deny it ever took place.
Bendul added that Durando told him to tell the mayor of Fort Lee, Mark Sokolich, to call Baroni.
