Chris Christie: Trump Feud Reignites, Bridgegate Lingers | Biography Flash

Chris Christie Biography Flash a weekly Biography. In the past few days Chris Christie vaulted back into national headlines after former president Donald Trump threatened to open a new investigation into Christie’s alleged involvement in the notorious Bridgegate scandal. According to AOL News, Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Sunday to rail against Christie following a sharp television exchange, questioning whether Christie had lied about his knowledge of the lane closures and suggesting that Christie "refused to take responsibility" for criminal acts, and calling for the probe to be reopened "for the sake of JUSTICE." This comes despite the fact that Christie himself was never charged or implicated in the scandal: federal prosecutors made clear years ago they could not prove he knew about the plot, and the Supreme Court’s 2020 unanimous decision ultimately tossed the convictions of his associates. At that time, both Trump and Christie, who were then allies, celebrated the ruling as total vindication. Christie blasted federal prosecutors for bias and overreach, insisting he’d been the victim of an "overzealous" investigation—a line he often repeats when pressed on the affair. Switching from the legal spotlight to his public persona, on Sunday Christie served up one of his trademark barbs on ABC’s This Week, where he dismissed Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as "a joke" amid mounting Cabinet infighting, as reported by AOL. Christie’s penchant for headline-grabbing quotes remains a central feature of his media strategy even as his focus shifts away from electoral politics. On the business and legal front, coverage in NJBIZ notes that Chris Porrino, Christie’s former chief counsel and state attorney general, has been making headlines himself—now serving as a private attorney handling high-profile cases across the aisle. While Christie isn’t directly tied to Porrino’s current cases, their ongoing professional relationship keeps Christie’s influence alive in New Jersey’s legal and political worlds. Notably, there are no reports of major new business ventures, high-profile public appearances, or significant positive social media campaigns featuring Christie in the past few days. Christie’s media presence, especially on television and in print, has centered on responding to Trump’s attacks and defending his record—not on launching new initiatives. Rumors have swirled on social media about Christie’s next moves, with speculation but nothing verified suggesting he might pursue more media opportunities or increase his political commentary—but as of now, these are just unconfirmed rumors.
