Overview

• Hours after Christie criticized him on ABC’s This Week, President Trump posted on Truth Social suggesting authorities should revisit the 2013 bridge lane-closure scandal tied to Christie.
• Trump accused Christie of lying about the George Washington Bridge closures and wrote, “For the sake of JUSTICE, perhaps we should start looking at that very serious situation again? NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!”
• Christie was never charged in the case, and the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously overturned the federal convictions of two Christie aides in 2020.
• Coverage links Trump’s threat to concerns about political retribution, noting it came days after FBI agents searched former national security adviser John Bolton’s home and office.
• As of Monday morning, there has been no announcement of a reopened investigation or charges related to Christie or Bridgegate.
