TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Records show that President Donald Trump’s pick to run the FBI represented New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie for nearly a year before a mandatory retainer agreement was signed.
WNYC-FM reports (http://bit.ly/2tTJuoj ) that Christopher Wray began representing Christie in September 2014 during the George Washington Bridge lane-closing investigation. The formal agreement wasn’t approved until August 2015.
A spokesman for the state attorney general’s office said it had no comment. Wray didn’t immediately respond to a request seeking comment.
Wray’s firm, Atlanta-based King & Spalding, has been paid $2.1 million since Christie hired him in 2014.
Wray held the governor’s cellphone that contained about a dozen text messages that he exchanged with a former staffer during a legislative hearing.
Three former Christie aides were convicted or pleaded guilty. Christie was not charged.
Oh my goodness…
This is smelling way, way fishy. Ick, ick, ick.
Just the person to put in charge of a law enforcement agency. (and T-rumpus wrangling)
Very disappointing.
No wonder T-boy’s sounding excited about the incoming FBI director.
So glad he was passed out of Comittee unanimously.
I’m quite surprised this hasn’t gain any real traction either. They nominated this man amidst the Traitorgate… and after all his dodging in the hearing he sailed through Committee. Unbelievable.
Not really
Well, you are right.
