The U.S. attorney for New Jersey has cleared three current and former officials in Gov. Chris Christie's (R) administration of wrongdoing in an alleged scheme to cow the mayor of Hoboken into supporting a development project by withholding Hurricane Sandy relief funds.

Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer came forward in January 2014 to accuse Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno (R) and a former Cabinet official, Richard Constable, of pressuring her in May 2013 to approve a development project for the Rockefeller Group, which was repped by a law firm with close ties to Christie. Zimmer produced journal entries to support her case.

Guadagno shared a letter from U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman's office Saturday on Twitter and said it vindicated her initial responses to Zimmer's allegations:
