Christie Investigated for Federal Crimes
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is facing a new federal criminal
investigation, ABC News reports. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in New
Jersey has launched a probe into the presidential hopeful as well as
members of his administration, according to former Hunterdon County
Assistant Prosecutor Bennett Barlyn. He says he was fired in 2010 after
he pushed back against Christie administration officials who sought to
dismiss indictments against the governor’s political allies. Barlyn told
ABC News he was questioned by federal authorities about Christie. “It
is true,” he said when asked if federal officials had contacted him. “I
also provided the investigators with names of people I thought could
furnish firsthand information.”
