Governor Holds First 'Bridgegate' Interview at Mendham Twp. Home

It's been a tumultuous few months for Governor Chris Christie, who's been embroiled in two simultaneous scandals alleging he took part in the closure of Fort Lee lanes to the George Washington Bridge, and for misappropriating funds for Hurricane Sandy victims.

While he's held a handful of town hall events throughout the state since the inauguration for his second term as Governor in January, Christie has only once addressed the bridge lane closure issue with the media during a marathon press conference.

Christie invited Diane Sawyer and ABC News into his Mendham Township home to discuss the scandal and the impact, if any, on a potential run for the White House in 2016.

The interview came the same day Christie's own lawyers vindicated him of any wrongdoing in the scandal. The law firm's report added that Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer, who accused the Christie administration of withholding funds from the Sandy-stricken Hudson County city, were "demonstrably false."
