The official said that the investigation is very much ongoing because there are still key witnesses, many of them close to the governor, who have yet to testify.

The new revelation dashes hopes that the investigation will be wrapped up soon and clear Christie before he makes a final decision about a possible White House run.

Despite Christie's assurances that he had no part in planning or orchestrating the political retribution last September, the scandal continues to hover over his administration and potential presidential hopes.
