Trump targets Christie with suggestion to reopen ‘Bridgegate‘ investigation
The president’s broadside against Christie, the former New Jersey governor and a two-time presidential candidate, is his latest effort to levy the power of the White House and the courts against his enemies.

The important thing here is the timing and the specific motivation.

President Donald Trump threatened to open an investigation into former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie over the 2013 "Bridgegate" scandal on August 24, 2025, hours after Christie criticized him during an appearance on ABC's *This Week* on the same day.

In a similar manner, Trump threatened to withdraw federal funds for the repair of the Ke Bridge and deploy the national guard in Baltimore within hours of a heated exchange with Governor Wes Moore on social media.

In his first term when there were some guard rails, Trump wouldn’t have been able to implement such threats. But Trump 2 gets almost anything he wants.[/quote]
