U.S. appeals court to consider revealing 'Bridgegate' co-conspirators
BY JOSEPH AX
A U.S. appeals court on Monday is set to consider whether to make public a list of unindicted co-conspirators in the "Bridgegate" criminal prosecution involving allies of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
One of the people on the list, whose name has been kept out of court filings, has asked the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to block the information's release.
The emergency request came days after a federal judge in New Jersey granted a motion from a consortium of media companies to reveal the names.
The list could shed light on how many Christie associates were aware of an alleged scheme to shut down access lanes to the George Washington Bridge in 2013 in what prosecutors claim was an act of political revenge against a local mayor.
