The Supreme Court sided with two allies of former New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie and overturned their convictions for their roles in the high-profile closure of two lanes on “the busiest bridge in the world.”

William Baroni, a Port Authority appointee, and Bridget Anne Kelly, who was Christie’s chief of staff, were convicted for a political payback scheme that played out during a four-day period in September 2013. The George Washington Bridge, which connects New Jersey to New York, was effectively turned into a parking lot after Christie aides ordered traffic from Fort Lee, New Jersey, to a crawl in retaliation against Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich for refusing to endorse Christie’s 2014 reelection bid.
