Two former allies of former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who were convicted in November 2016 of fraud, conspiracy and civil rights violations for closing access lanes to the George Washington Bridge in September 2013, are challenging their convictions in federal court, with the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia set to consider the case on April 23, 2018. This combination of March 29, 2017, file photos shows Bridget Kelly, left, leaving federal court after sentencing in Newark, N.J.; and Bill Baroni leaving federal court after sentencing in Newark, N.J. The aim, according to prosecutors, was to use traffic jams to punish the Democratic mayor of Fort Lee, N.J., the town next to the bridge, for not endorsing the Republican governor's re-election campaign.
