MORRISTOWN, NJ – Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said in an ABC News broadcast on September 11th that the Department of Justice raid on former President Donald Trump’s Florida home appears to be justified.

Christie told ABC News senior National correspondent Terry Moran that the Department of Justice had no choice but to read the former president’s private residence.

“It’s not only the nature of the documents. We now have a good idea of the timeline. This has been 16 months that the Department of Justice has been saying please, asking nicely, negotiating with his attorneys, taking up partial production, seeing a non-response to a subpoena,” Christie said. “They had no choice, in my view, but to go in and take them, because of the nature of the documents.”

The former Governor and federal prosecutor doubts that President Trump will face any criminal prosecution but says that the United States of America deserves to have the documents he took when leaving office returned back to the people.

Christie, who repeatedly blamed President Trump for giving him Covid-19 during a pre-debate prep session has said the FBI raid on Mar-A-Lago was “fair game”.

The former Governor is most widely known nationally as the awkward face behind President Trump during a key speech in 2016 and for a beach chair photo taken after the governor close the beaches in New Jersey but took his entire family to the beach in the summer of 2017. Christie is also known for his role in Bridgegate, a scheme to shut down lanes of traffic on the George Washington Bridge in order to create a political and logistical catastrophe for the Democrat mayor I’ll be North Jersey town of Fort Lee.
