At the Republican National Convention in July, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie accused Hillary Clinton of using her personal email account to hide secrets. It turns out Christie may have hidden a few of his own in a private email account.
On Friday, a New Jersey Superior Court judge ordered Christie’s personal email account — one that he shares with his wife — searched in response to a local paper’s Open Records request on material related to "Bridgegate."
The Record newspaper, based in Hackensack, received 90 pages of documents from Christie’s office following the initial request last year. More than 55 of the pages, however, were heavily redacted and no emails came from Christie’s private account.
Last year Christie said he’d handed over all his emails to investigators, however, lawyers at the firm representing the governor acknowledged last month “it never searched an email account where the sender was Chris and Mary Pat Christie," until one of the defendants in the case discovered an email sent to David Samson, the former chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
After his own presidential campaigned died immediately following the New Hampshire primary, Christie didn’t waste any time jumping on board Donald Trump’s bandwagon, where he assumed the position of chief sycophant. He didn’t get what he wanted—the vice presidential spot—but that hasn’t stopped him from ranting about Clinton and her emails. During the RNC convention he practically swooned while leading the crowd in a mock indictment of of Clinton and her record.
