Trump threatens
President Donald Trump shot on Sunday night a series of messages on social networks that attacked the Senate Democrats, demanding that the baseball hall admit the retired pitcher Roger Clemens and the hair of the reporter of ABC Jonathan Karl.
And, in one of his Wilder positions, Trump delivered a not so overdue threat to the friend Chris Christie, the former New Jersey governor who had criticized him earlier in the day.
“Can anyone believe something so careless that Chris says?” Trump wrote.
During an ABC interview, Christie accused Trump of using the Department of Justice as “his personal legal representation” to carry out a remuneration against political and critical opponents such as former national security advisor John Bolton.
Trump seemed to present Christie’s case for him while hinting that the former governor could soon be at the wrong end of a new research on the “Bridgete” scandal of his time as governor.
“Do you remember how he lied about the dangerous and mortal closure of the George Washington bridge to stay out of prison,” Trump wrote. “For the sake of justice, maybe we should start seeing that very serious situation? No one is above the law!”
Trump referred to a 2013 scandal in which the members of the Christie administration closed the lanes in Fort Lee, which led to the George Washington bridge to create a traffic jam, according to reports as revenge against a mayor who did not support the re -election offer of Christie.
When Christie held a press conference that denied that his office had been involved, one of his own assistants sent a text message to another that “simply lied,” according to judicial documents published later.
Christie was a Trump rival during the 2016 campaign, but retired early and became one of the first important figures of the Republican Party that supports him.
He stayed inside Trump’s orbit throughout the campaign and during his first term in office, and was a usual of the White House.

Christie helped Trump prepare for the presidential debates in 2016 and 2020. He spent a week in an intensive care unit with COVID-19 that he developed while helping Trump in 2020, then saying that it was “inexcusable” that it was not told that Trump had positively given the infection and “unnecessable” that he received the infection of him.
Trump called him while he was in the hospital, said Christie, but not quite to verify his prognosis.
“Are you going to say that you have it from me?” Trump asked, according to Christie 2021.
Christie finally became a critic of Trump.
