Christie To Donors: 'You'll Get Over' The Bridge Scandal
CATHERINE THOMPSON – JUNE 16, 2014, 7:59 AM EDT
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said he isn't losing any sleep over the bridge scandal plaguing his administration, and he doesn't want it to weigh on donors should he decide to launch a 2016 presidential bid.
The Los Angeles Times reported Christie told a group of 300 Republican donors Saturday at Mitt Romney's political retreat in Utah that the controversy over lane closures on the George Washington Bridge was just an attempt for his political opponents to gain "more altitude."
But Christie's aides are still testifying about the BridgeGate scandalbefore a federal grand jury. Last week, his chief of staff challenged some of the work of the lawyers who cleared Christie of any wrongdoing in the lane closures.
"Don't be so nervous," Christie told the donors, as quoted by the Los Angeles Times.
