In his e-mail, which was sent to a number of high ranking officials on the Port Authority, Foye said, "I pray that no life has been lost or trip of a hospital- or hospice-bound patient delayed."


He also wrote that he believes the "hasty and ill-advised decision violates federal law and the laws of both states."


"I will get to the bottom of this abusive decision which violated everything this agency stands for," he wrote.

The revelations are part of more than 2,000 pages of documents released late Friday by a New Jersey State Assembly committee as part of its investigation of top Christie advisers, who are accused of closing down access lanes to the country's busiest bridge as an act of political retribution against Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich.

The documents also show that Christie spokesman Michael Drewniak had dinner with David Wildstein, then-director of interstate capital projects for the Port Authority, two days before the transportation official resigned in December over questions around the now-notorious multiday traffic jam in Fort Lee. Wildstein thanked Drewniak for his "sound advice" and the two men later e-mailed back and forth about how to announce his departure from the Port Authority.
