Bridget Anne Kelly, Christie’s former
deputy chief of staff, and Bill Baroni, a Christie appointee to the Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey, are charged with fraud and
conspiracy for allegedly planning the lane closures as an act of
retribution against Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich, for not endorsing
Christie’s bid for re-election.
