President Donald Trump late Sunday threatened to direct federal prosecutors to revisit the 2013 “Bridgegate” lane-closure scandal involving former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, moments after Christie accused him on ABC’s “This Week” of turning the Justice Department into his personal law firm. In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that “for the sake of JUSTICE” officials should “start looking at that very serious situation again,” adding, “NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.” The Bridgegate case stems from the decision by senior members of Christie’s administration to close two access lanes to the George Washington Bridge, causing massive traffic jams in Fort Lee, New Jersey, allegedly to punish the town’s Democratic mayor. Christie himself was never charged, and the U.S. Supreme Court in 2020 overturned the federal fraud convictions of two former aides who orchestrated the scheme. Trump’s threat comes three days after an FBI search of former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s home and office—another move critics say targets a political adversary—and intensifies questions about the president’s use of law-enforcement powers against opponents. Christie, once a close ally who ran Trump’s 2016 transition, has become one of the Republican Party’s most outspoken internal critics of the administration.
