It’s not yet clear what exactly NJ Governor Chris Christie knew about the recent effort to create a traffic jam in Fort Lee, near the GW Bridge, or when he knew it.
What is certain, though, is this has created an embarrassing predicament for the man who has been seen by many as a leading moderate Republican presidential contender.
