A series of emails and text messages released Wednesday revealed that Christie's deputy chief of staff and two of his top appointees at the Port Authority were deeply involved in a decision to close a pair of access lanes onto the bridge from Fort Lee, N.J.
Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich (D) had declined to endorse Christie for re-election, unlike many other Democratic municipal officials in the state.
Christie released a statement on Wednesday, saying he was "outraged" and that he had been "misled" by a member of his staff. Today is the first time he will address the new revelations at length.
