Christie strikes back

[Big Money]

Chris Christie, after a low-key initial response to allegations about his involvement in a bridge-closing, mounted an aggressive defense late Saturday afternoon, attacking The New York Times and a former political ally in an email.


“Bottom line — David Wildstein will do and say anything to save David Wildstein,” the email from the governor’s office says, referring to the former appointee who reignited the controversy.


A media firestorm was set off by sloppy reporting from the New York Times and their suggestion that there was actually ‘evidence’ when it was a letter alleging that ‘evidence exists.

The “evidence” a former Port Authority official says proves embattled Gov. Chris Christie knew about the George Washington Bridge lane closures are not part of the mammoth pile of documents he submitted in response to a subpoena, the New Jersey Democrat leading the state legislature's investigation said Sunday.


"We don't really know what the evidence is," Assemblyman John Wisniewski said on NBC's "Meet the Press" about David Wildstein's claims that Christie knew of the lane closings.


"(Wildstein) submitted over 900 pages of documents in response to the subpoena. Apparently what he's talking about must be something other than what he submitted,” he added.
