Law firm defending Christie bills another $784,000
POINT PLEASANT, N.J. (AP) -- The law firm hired to defend Gov. Chris Christie's administration in the George Washington Bridge lane-closing scandal has charged the state another $780,000 for work this summer.
The Department of Law & Public Safety released new invoices Friday from the firm Gibson Dunn & Crutcher.
The firm is representing Christie's office in state and federal investigations into last September's lane closures. It has charged the state more than $7 million so far.
The new invoices total $388,014 for May, $249,972 for June and $146,473 for July.
Gibson Dunn earlier this year agreed to reduce its rate from $650 per hour to $350.
The firm published a 350-page report in March.
