Watch live streaming video from governorchrischristie at livestream.com

Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ) will make his first public appearance at 11 AM EST on Thursday to respond to emails that show his staff was personally involved in lane closures on the George Washington Bridge as part of a vendetta against Fort Lee’s Democratic mayor, Mark Sokolich, for not endorsing Christie in the state’s gubernatorial election.

The governor released the following statement Wednesday evening:

I am outraged and deeply saddened to learn that not only was I misled by a member of my staff, but this completely inappropriate and unsanctioned conduct was made without my knowledge.

This behavior is not representative of me or my administration in any way, and people will be held responsible for their actions.
