In face of lawsuit, Gov. Christie makes copy of calendar public, revealing private dinner with Fox

News chief


Reversing course in the face of a lawsuit, Gov. Chris Christie’s office Monday made public a copy of his calendar showing he met with Roger Ailes, the Fox News chief, for a private dinner last year.

But that simple notation — which the Christie administration had refused to release — is the only official record of the meeting that exists, and there is no record of any correspondence between the two men, the governor’s office said.

The disclosure is an attempt by the Christie administration to head off a brewing legal battle over what records the governor can keep confidential.

Earlier this year Gawker, a New York City-based blog that chronicles celebrities and the media, requested any correspondence between Christie and Ailes, as well as records related to their dinner meeting on Sept. 11, 2010.

2. old news...see New York Magazine link, discussed here two months ago:

A few months ago, Ailes called Chris Christie and encouraged him to jump into the race. Last summer, he’d invited Christie to dinner at his upstate compound along with Rush Limbaugh, and like much of the GOP Establishment, he fell hard for Christie, who nevertheless politely turned down Ailes’s calls to run.
