TRENTON -- Gov. Chris Christie was dumped as the head of President Donald Trump's transition team after an ugly clash between the two on election night, according to a new book set to be released Tuesday.
In "Devil's Bargain," Christie reportedly arranged to have former President Barack Obama call his cell phone to offer Trump congratulations on his election-night win, according to the Daily Mail.
"Hey Donald. The president talked to me earlier," Christie told Trump after it looked like the the businessman could defeated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, according to the report. "If you win he's going to call my phone, and I'll pass it over to you."
Trump responded: "Hey Chris, you know my [expletive] phone number. Just give it to the president. I don't want your [expletive] phone," according to the report.

If anybody gets a call from the president, it's gonna be him - not Chris Christie. He's not taking handoffs from anybody else.
My private theory about Chris Christie and why he didn't get the VP nod. I don't think he passed the "loyalty" test. Something tells me that Christie knew a lot more about the Russian-doings and the trouble it would cause later. Christie was an early supporter of Trump even when other people weren't on board yet. He probably saw & heard a lot during the early days of the campaign. He still wanted to be VP, but not part of Trump's inner circle. If I'm right then Christie was smart to keep an arm's length away from all of it.
