After a 16-month-long federal investigation into the George Washington Bridge lane closings scandal dubbed "Bridgegate," two indictments have come down.
The case stems from a four-day traffic jam at the George Washington Bridge in September 2013, just two months before New Jersey Governor Chris Christie won re-election. It snarled traffic for hours and unleashed a scandal that has dragged down the governor's presidential ambitions.
The scheme was devised to punish the mayor of Fort Lee, New Jersey, Mark Sokolich, who did not endorse Christie for his re-election campaign
Bill Baroni, the former deputy executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and Bridget Anne Kelly, a former deputy chief of staff to Governor Christie, were both indicted.
Also today, David Wildstein, another former Port Authority official and old friend of Christie, pleaded guilty conspiracy to commit fraud and conspiracy against civil rights.
Nancy Solomon, managing editor at New Jersey Public Radio, has the details on this case.
