Judge recommends N.J. Gov. Chris Christie be charged in bridge-closing scandal

A judge has recommended N.J. Gov. Chris Christie be charged with official misconduct in the state's "Bridgegate" case.

Former Port Authority executive William Baroni and former Christie deputy chief of staff Bridget Anne Kelly are on trial, accused of plotting deliberate lane closures at the George Washington Bridge in what has been described as an act of political retribution.

The tie-ups reportedly were retribution against the mayor of Fort Lee for not endorsing Christie for re-election. Two of three lanes connecting Fort Lee to the heavily-traveled George Washington Bridge, which runs between New Jersey and New York City, were closed on the first day of school in September 2013.
