A team of attorneys retained to represent Governor Christie’s office in the aftermath of the George Washington Bridge scandal is seeking documents and a private interview with the Hoboken mayor, whose explosive allegations have further fueled the governor’s woes.
In January, Mayor Dawn Zimmer of Hoboken alleged that members of Christie’s administration had threatened to withhold Superstorm Sandy aid if she did not fast-track a particular real estate development project.
In letters obtained by The Record, lawyer Randy Mastro asked that Zimmer and four other Hoboken officials provide his legal team with documents already handed over to federal investigators. Authorities are looking into Zimmer’s claims that she was pressed to support a development project represented by the law firm of David Samson, the chairman of the Port Authority and a Christie confidant.
The governor’s office, Mastro wrote, takes Zimmer’s allegations “very seriously.”
But Zimmer, who has already met with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and gave authorities a journal in which she recounted the alleged threat delivered by Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, declined the invitation.
