GOP New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie appeared on CNN this evening at the same time that Gov. Jon Corzine (D-NJ) was holding a rally where President Barack Obama was speaking. CNN asked Christie about the allegations of ethical improprieties and politicization of the U.S. Attorney’s office that have dogged him this fall.
Asked whether top aide Michele Brown — who received an undeclared $46,000 loan from Christie — was asked to do work politically on his behalf, Christie answered emphatically.
“Absolutely, absolutely false,” Christie said of that allegation. “There’s no truth to any of that.”
“My office has, my old office has an extraordinary record,” he said, adding that “this is just the kind of personal smear politics that the Corzine campaign has been playing.”
