Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and his campaign still owe $1 million legal debt years after he left office in disgrace.
While the legal fees are mainly attributed to now resolved “Bridgegate” scandal federal subpoenas for almost 20 members of Christie’s cabinet led to nearly $1 million in debt.
According to its latest filing, which is from last month, Christie’s 2013 campaign owes $651,305 to the law firm of Squire Patton Boggs and $364,103 to the digital forensics firm Stroz Friedberg.
Stroz Friedberg has since changed its name to Aon’s Cyber Solutions.
