According to former Port Authority offiical David Widstein, also a high school friend of the governor, claims Governor Chris Christie knew about the lane closings. The New York Times is reporting, “‘evidence exists’ the governor knew about the lane closings when they were happening.”
In a letter released by his lawyer, Wildstein, described the order to close the lanes as “the Christie administration’s order” and said “evidence exists as well tying Mr. Christie to having knowledge of the lane closures, during the period when the lanes were closed, contrary to what the governor stated publicly in a two-hour press conference” three weeks ago.
“Mr. Wildstein contests the accuracy of various statements that the governor made about him, and he can prove the inaccuracy of some,” the letter added.
