Chris Christie Claims He Was Misled About Bridge Lane Closures

Claims he didn't know about apparent act of political retribution

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says that a top aide misled him about her role in apparent political retribution against a town mayor and that he knew nothing about the situation.

Emails and text messages released Wednesday link Christie aides and political appointees to traffic jams in a town in September that appear to have been engineered as political payback.
