Assistant US Attorney J. Fortier Imbert on behalf of the office of US Attorney Paul Fishman has requested in a letter to New Jersey legislators to postpone a scheduled public testimony of a key Port Authority of New York and New Jersey official regarding the George Washington Bridge lane closures, Bloomberg said.
Democrat Senator Loretta Weinberg said Christina Renna's testimony scheduled today is crucial to finding out who really ordered the access lane closures at the George Washington Bridge, Bloomberg reported.
An industry activist told Bloomberg that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie should not impose tax on e-cigarettes if he only intends to ease the state government's $1.06 billion shortfall as opposed to providing healthcare and prevention for tobacco users
According to former prosecutors, it is unlikely that New Jersey US Attorney Paul Fishman, whose office is conducting a probe on finding out who ordered the closure of the access lanes at the George Washington Bridge, will offer immunity to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's former loyalists to reveal the truth behind the scandal, Bloomberg said.
