DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz To Christie: 'Time's Up, Guv'

CATHERINE THOMPSON – JANUARY 8, 2014, 11:52 AM EST

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz in a statement Wednesday accused New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) of exacting political retribution on a Democratic mayor who didn't endorse his re-election bid.

After documents obtained by several news outlets connected one of Christie's closest aides to lane closures on the George Washington Bridge that caused traffic mayhem in Fort Lee, N.J., Mayor Mark Sokolich told the Wall Street Journal that he had been the victim of "political payback."

Christie repeatedly denied he was involved in the closures, which Schultz said was "clearly untrue given the discovery of emails that came directly from his own top staff."
