Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says he thinks it's "highly doubtful" that he will be included on a list of unindicted co-conspirators in the George Washington Bridge lane-closing scandal.

Christie said Wednesday that he doesn't think he's on the list because he didn't know what was going on when former allies allegedly conspired to close lanes of the bridge for political retribution in September 2013.

U.S. District Judge Susan Wigenton said Tuesday it's in the public's interest for the government to disclose the list. The ruling came after a lawsuit filed by media organizations, including The Associated Press.

Wigenton gave prosecutors until Friday to release the list in an order Wednesday.

Two former allies were indicted last spring on wire fraud and civil rights deprivation charges.  Christie hasn't been charged.
