Sen. Cory Booker on Gov. Christie Christie and Bridgegate

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., spoke to Yahoo News and Finance Anchor Bianna Golodryga about the latest in the New Jersey “Bridgegate” trial of two former N.J. officials charged with closing lanes of the George Washington Bridge in 2013. In response to claims from both the prosecution and the defense that Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., knew about the 2013 lane closings as they were happening, Booker told Golodryga, “I don’t believe we should be trying somebody in the court of public opinion.” He said he doesn’t want to focus on the “sensationalism” of the trial.
