Misconduct Complaint Against Christie Has Merit, Judge Finds
A citizen’s complaint accusing Gov. Chris Christie
of official misconduct in the closing of traffic lanes at the George
Washington Bridge in 2013 can proceed, a municipal court judge in New
Jersey ruled on Thursday, raising the possibility that Mr. Christie
could face a criminal indictment.
The
judge, Roy F. McGeady of Bergen County, found that there was probable
cause to believe the governor had engaged in official misconduct in
connection with the lane closings, as claimed in a complaint filed in
September by William J. Brennan of Wayne. As a result of Judge McGeady’s
ruling, the Bergen County prosecutor’s office must now decide whether
to seek an indictment against Mr. Christie.
The
unexpected development, which unfolded in a courtroom that typically
deals with relatively minor crimes, is the latest problem for Mr.
Christie, a Republican, related to the lane closings.
