Democratic Leaders Hammer Christie at Event Marking One Year Since George Washington Bridge Lane Closures

New Jersey and national Democratic Party leaders are marking one year since the lane closures near the George Washington Bridge with an event to criticize Gov. Chris Christie.

Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and state Democratic leaders gathered in Fort Lee on Monday morning to hammer Christie on the bridge.

They also criticized the potential 2016 presidential contender for his handling on the state's economy and his frequent out-of-state travel.

There were massive traffic jams in Fort Lee for four mornings starting on Sept. 9, 2013 due to lane closures that were apparently done for political retribution.

The investigation into the lane closures is ongoing. A law firm hired by Christie's office found no wrong-doing by the governor or other key officials in his administration.
