Tonight, too big debates, one in new york city one in new jersey. Diana was there is the candidates vying to replace governor christie had added. What he got . The packed arena here in the first two candidates, kim guadagno and phil murphy took the stage in the first debate. Pensions, property taxes heated up fast especially when it came to the issue of guns. And las vegas is shooting. I am strongly of the opinion that i would sign all of the gun safety laws that have been vetoed by the christie, guadagno administration. If thats a bad then why has Goldman Sachs invested in gun manufacturers over the years . And how much is he profited by that investment . They attacked often and as expected murphy attacked. [reading names] on his relattionship with governor christie. The debate ran about an hour with issue spanning from immigration to murphy calling for a sanctuary state to wildstein, the hollywood producer currently under attack for allegations of sexual misconduct. Guadagno attacked
you talk about maximum statutory maximums of 85 years. these are first-time offenders. they have contacts with the community, they have a strong support system. they re not going to get 85 years. they re going to get something much less than that. but they re probably going to end up getting more than the chief witness against them, wildstein, who made a deal with the government, this is a classic federal case in that they approached one of the someone they thought was a main participant, he made a deal, he turns around, he testifies on everybody else and in a case like this that plus some of the text messages and e-mails that came in were really probably what aggravated this jury. quick reminder, chris christie is the head of the transition team for donald trump and he will be stumping for him tomorrow. danny, thank you very much. we ll be right back.
today. talk about election pre-election surprises. there has been a verdict. former top aides to chris christie, bridget anne kelly and bill baroni were found guilty on all counts in the bridgegate trial convicted of scheming to punish the democratic mayor of fort lee, new jersey, for not endorsing christie during his 2013 re-election campaign. wildstein pleaded guilty and has been cooperating with prosecutors. they have all testified that christie knew about the lane closings either before or while they were going on. chris christie who was going to be campaigning for donald trump in new hampshire and pennsylvania released a statement moments ago which read in part, let me be clear once again. i had no knowledge prior to or during these lane realignments and had no role in authorizing them. no believable evidence was
