Christie freaked out over ‘Christie Creme’ donut gag
The mayor of Fort Lee’s failure to endorse him wasn’t the only thing irking New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in the months before the 2013 George Washington Bridge lane closings — the governor was also “freaked” over a fake box of “Christie Creme” donuts, jurors in the Bridgegate trial heard Friday

Christie was “very upset,” according to interoffice texts, after the press published pictures of a mocked-up box of “Christie Creme” donuts — the innocent joke, during an office bake-off, of a Statehouse intern. The box included this boast printed in a bright red starburst: “Expanding Nationwide in 2016!!!”
Christie was insisting at the time that he was only running for re-election, with no aspirations to the White House — and he was apparently livid after stories broke saying that even his interns knew he was running for president

Nationwide in 2016!!!”
Christie was insisting at the time that he was only running for re-election, with no aspirations to the White House — and he was apparently livid after stories broke saying that even his interns knew he was running for president.
The donut debacle became known internally in Christie’s office as the dreaded “Christie Creme incident,” testified prosecution witness Christina Renna, who worked for the gov’s Office of Intergovernmental Affairs.
Christie lit into Bridgegate defendant Bridget Anne Kelly over the presidentially predictive pastries, according to texts Renna showed jurors Friday. Kelly’s lawyer appears to be using this as further proof that she was just Christie’s pawn, buffeted by his whims.
