A New Jersey judge on Thursday ordered a new hearing on a citizens criminal complaint against Governor Chris Christie over the Bridgegate scandal but declined to dismiss the case entirely.
Judge Bonnie Mizdol, the top judge in Bergen County, said a lower court judge erroneously denied Christies lawyer an opportunity to make arguments and cross-examine witnesses at a prior hearing in October.
The complaint was filed in September by Bill Brennan, a retired firefighter and activist who recently announced he would run for governor this year.
