The Republican governor and former presidential candidate said 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. Since withdrawing from the presidential primaries, Christie has become one of Donald Trump's key supporters and was chosen by the presumptive Republican nominee to lead his transition team if he's elected. The government had opposed the list's release arguing that the uncharged third parties would not have a chance to vindicate themselves at trial and that their privacy outweighed the public's right to know their identities. Christie's former deputy chief of staff Bridget Kelly and former Port Authority of New York and New Jersey official Bill Baroni were indicted last spring on wire fraud and civil rights deprivation charges.
