New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) will deliver his State of the State address on Tuesday amid the escalating controversy surrounding the governor and lane closures on the George Washington Bridge last year.
Christie will speak at 3 p.m. in the Trenton, N.J. state house.
On Monday, TPM obtained a letter showing that New Jersey Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg (D) attempted to alert Christie to the lane closures shortly after they opened again.
A new theory has emerged in the scandal suggesting that the lane closures were linked to a billion dollar development project in Fort Lee, rather than Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich’s decision to endorse Christie for re-election last year.
