The Bridgegate trial has begun for former Christie staffer, Bridget Anne Kelly and Bill Baroni, the former Deputy Executive Director of the Port Authority. And Chris Christie’s name has been coming up a lot in federal court in Newark.
On the very first day, prosecutors came out and said the governor knew about the politically motivated lane closures leading to the George Washington Bridge while they were happening.
We kick off season two of the Christie Tracker Podcast: The Bridgegate Trial with WNYC’s Matt Katz and Andrea Bernstein, who are witnessing every minute of the trial as it unfolds. They join host David Furst for analysis, behind the scenes stories from the trial (including Matt and his computer being detained by the U.S. Marshall) and the latest on how this all might affect Chris Christie’s involvement in the 2016 election.
Andrea says one of the reasons why the Bridgegate saga continues to be fascinating is because ‘it’s Hamlet meets American Hustle.’
