Judge delays Bridgegate co-conspirator list deadline to Tuesday
A judge has delayed the release of a list of unindicted co-conspirators in the George Washington Bridge lane-closing case until noon on Tuesday.
The judge had ordered the government to release the list by noon Friday in response to a motion filed by The Associated Press and other media organizations.
But a lawyer for the media organizations says the judge wants written arguments Friday regarding a motion filed late Thursday by an unidentified person whose name is on the list and who wants it kept private.
The motion filed Thursday says the man will be "publicly branded a felon without due process of law, causing him immediate and irreparable reputational harm."
Two former allies of Republican Gov. Chris Christie, including his former deputy chief of staff, face criminal charges for allegedly creating traffic jams for political revenge against a local Democratic mayor.
