Bridget Anne Kelly breaks down after being found guilty of manipulating an epic traffic jam on the George Washington Bridge. Chris Christie were convicted Friday of creating an epic traffic jam at the George Washington Bridge for what prosecutors say was political revenge, capping a trial that cast doubt on Christie’s claims he knew nothing about the scheme. The federal jury took five days to reach a verdict in the scandal that helped sink Christie’s Republican campaign for president. Wildstein, a high-ranking Port Authority official, pleaded guilty to orchestrating the scheme and was the prosecution’s star witness. Kelly and Baroni testified they believed the lane closings were part of a legitimate traffic study because, they said, that was what Wildstein told them.
