Ex-Chair of Bridge Agency Won’t Turn Over Docs - SFGate
Lawyers for the former chairman of the agency that oversees the George Washington Bridge said Friday their client will not be turning over any more documents to a New Jersey legislative panel investigating the lane closures that sparked a political scandal for Gov. Chris Christie.
Attorneys for former Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Chairman David Samson cited their client’s Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and right of privacy in a letter to the investigating committee.
The letter said Samson has done nothing wrong and violated no laws — “quite the opposite,” according to his lawyers — but should not be ensnared by ambiguous circumstances.
