It must be Friday because ChristieGate news is exploding. While former Port Authority official David Wildstein appears to be willing to spill the beans on the New Jersey Governor, Christie's former campaign manager, Bill Stepien, has invoked his Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself.
In a letter to the special counsel working with state lawmakers investigating the closures, Stepien's attorney argued that the subpoena served to his client violated his constitutional rights, and requested that it be withdrawn.
"Bill Stepien has not broken any laws," attorney Kevin Marino wrote in the letter. "Under the circumstances, Mr. Stepien simply has no choice but to invoke the constitutional and common law rights guaranteed to all persons - including, most critically, those innocent of any crime. For these reasons, amplified below, we object to the Subpoena in its entirety, and respectfully urge the Committee to withdraw it."
Stepien was among a number of Christie allies who were subpoenaed earlier this month by state lawmakers, who asked for documents related to the lane closures. The subpoenas were all returnable Feb. 3.
