his state is hosting the super bowl today, but chris christie is also focused on a heateded political battle off the field. christie is firing back at a former political ally who's questioning the governor's account of his controversial lane closures last september. in a memo to supporters, christie attacks the credibility of david wildstein. he says wildstein hasn't provided a shred of evidence to back up his claim that the governor knew about the lane closures while they were happening. christie says quote, david wildstein has been publicly asking for immunity since the beginning, been held in contempt by the new jersey legislature for refusing to testify, failed to provide this so-called evidence when first subpoenaed by the new jersey legislature and is looking for the port authority to pay his legal bills, end quote. some republicans are expressing spoth for christie, saying he should stay on as chairman of the republican governors

association. >> all we know is one person's word against the other. you can't base any conclusion against such a thing, so unless something else is known or made clear, i don't see why you would change what's going on right now. i don't think he should step down because nothing has been proven and you always give the person the benefit of the doubt in those situations in my judgment. >> but in other circumstanles, governor christie isn't as popular. he got a mixed reaction from the crowd at a super bowl hand off ceremony in new york yesterday. >> good afternoon, everybody. you've heard enough speeches of the same thing. i want to tell everybody out there to thank you very much to all of our partners, the nfl, the team owners. >> the new jersey assembly men overseeing the state's investigation of the lane closures says his panel is in fact finding mode and any talk of impeachment in his word, is premature. law enforcement officials say florida's fight against prescription drug abuse may have

taken a big hit and the person they say is responsible was one of their own. a crime lab chemist is being investigated for allegedly switching with over the counter meds. >> more than 2,000 criminal cases at risk of being thrown out or overturned. a pensacola, florida chemist accused of swapping out drug lab evidence with over the counter aspirin. >> it could be personal use, trafficking, each of those. we don't know. >> this is significant. the florida department of law enforcement spokesman told cnn, we've never had to undertake something like this before. the investigation spans 35 counties across the state of florida. in all, 2600 cases over the past eight years. all of them potentially impacted because of alleged evidence tampering. >> our first priority is to find out what couldly what happened in this case and work with the

state attorneys to hold this person criminally account l. >> the investigation began last week when the sheriff's office and state attorney noticed missing prescription pain pills from the evidence room. instead, the drugs were replaced with overthe counter medication. they say the situation underlines the extent of prescription drug abuse in the united states. our battle against prescription drug abuse in florida has been very successful over the last three years and i will not tolerate any actions that compromise our continued success in ridding our state of this problem. not all of the 2600 cases were drug related, but they will all be ve reviewed just to make sure the chemist didn't allegedly tamper with any other evidence. law enforcement officials tells me he's been removed from duty and has hired an attorney. charges are pending. >> we're also following breaking news out of new york. philip seymour hoffman is dead.

we'll have the latest on the investigation, next. what does everything mean to you? with the quicksilver cash back card from capital one, it means unlimited 1.5% cash back on everything you purchase, every day.

love and support we have received from everyone. this is a tragic and sudden loss and we ask you respect our privacy during this time of grieving. please keep phil in your thoughts and prayers. his final public appearance was believed to have been just last month at the sundance film festival. christa smith interviewed the actor at the festival. take a look as she describes the interaction that he once had with a fan. >> my friends, my friends bet me that i couldn't get a selfie with you. i'm like, you're not. >> some lighter moments there. christa smith joining us live by phone now. that was a very fun moment.

he had this quite xhecomedic stk as well, but describe for us what that interview was like. i remember the last time you and i spoke, you talked about him arriving early, so he was very anxious to talk about his projects. >> yeah, fred, well, usually during festivals and the press around festivals, it is crazy. you're kind of going from one thing to another. he just arrived, i guess finished ahead of the rest of the actors and he just came in our little fleet and hung out and it's all very modest in sundance. there's no bells and whistles. you're just kind of right there with everybody and he hung out and as i said earlier, he was wondering if there was any closet smokers in the crew, so he could actually have a cigarette. but you know, he had that and he was fine and then christina game in. we did the interview. i was asking these questions that were a little bit more light hearted towards the end and the one you just saw there, i had asked when was the last

time you took a selfie. these were the questions we were asking everybody because he immediately did this whole re-enactment and it was hilarious. and you wouldn't really expect phil to do that. people have an image of him as being this very serious kind of actor. he immediately tapped into it and had us all laughing and it was kind of irresistible. >> these two films he was helping to promote, god pocket and most wanted man, he was very excited about these two projects, but i understand he was also very excited about some projects that he was involved in that would be on stage in new york and even an upcoming film that he would be directing. >> right. well, the thing about phil hoffman, there's no phil hoffman role. he was never pigeon holed into anything. he was to so fluid between every performance and facet of the community. he could be directing theatre,

film, that was exactly what he was going to be doing with amy adams and jake gyllenhaal. he was in love with his theatre community. he was a work aholic. he was so prolific and one thing i want to stress here as the more information comes out of this tragic death, in a way in which they found him, no one really talked about you know, it didn't create his work environment. no one knew him as someone that abused drugs. he was long-term sober. a few times, he mentioned he had been sober since the age of 22. last year when he kind of announced he went into rehab a few days or so to get back on track, to a lot of us, it was news that he had ooen had a problem because it had been two decades long that he had been sober. >> christa smith, thank you so much. and dr. drew pinsky with some

pretty profound comments about that, it is a day-to-day struggle. you mentioned he's addicted to working, also to drugs and alcohol. up next, i'm going to talk to an addiction specialist. dr. drew pinsky will be back talking more about this fight. . time to take care of business with century link's global broadband network and cloud infrastructure. we constantly evolve to meet your needs every day of the week.

if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition or stomach ulcer, take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners... ...or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctors about all medicines you take. pradaxa side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. if you or someone you love has afib not caused by a heart valve problem... ...ask your doctor about reducing the risk of stroke with pradaxa.

this breaking story, actor philip seymour hoffman found dead in his apartment. law enforcement says he died of an apparent drug overdose. i'm joined on the phone now by jeffrey horowitz. jeff, thanks so much for joining us and my condolences on today's sad news. tell us about philip seymour hoffman that you knew. >> thanks. so, as everyone knows, incredibly talented actor. also an incredibly talented director and -- to the extent that people can see that, but phil was also a great friend and a great father and a true leader

and really a brilliant intellectual. he was a thoughtful person. not just about the theatre, but about relationships and how people lived their lives. he was really a very smart guy. >> we heard he really was addicted to working. that he poured all of his self into a project, whether it be on film, on television or on stage. was that something that was fascinating to you about him? his dedication to this craft? >> well, certainly is something i respect. i think phil was always looking for the truth in things and so, you know, he was willing to work as hard as he had to to accomplish that. >> we know he was somebody in front of the camera. you talked about him being involved as a producer, a pl

playwright and as a director. is there a way to know whether one of those disciplines gave him greater satisfaction or the other? >> i think if phil were hearing the interview, he would say those are false choices. i think he enjoyed both. i don't think he would say he liked directing better than acting, film better than stage. i think those are sort of false choices. >> and what did you know or notice about his struggles with substance abuse? >> i don't have anything to say about any of that. >> is that because you didn't notice it? because he was very public about it. >> it, it -- i just don't have anything to say about it. >> give me an idea of what kind of loss this means for a friend

of philip seymour hoffman. >> it's a -- my life will certainly be less rich. you know, he is -- you know, because he won an oscar and because he was in many popular movies, i think people you know, people might view him as a certainly was a celebrity, but he was never seeking fame or celebrity or attention. he was a regular guy who wanted to be a regular guy and wanted to have friends with whom he could interact without all of the trappings of fame. and i will miss that deeply. >> jeffrey horowitz -- >> it's a very interesting, it's a very interesting thing. my last communication with him back and forth by text, we were

trying to set up for dinner, just to talk about some things. the theatre and otherwise and his text back to me was we'll find time. so, you know, sometimes, he was there. >> speaks to the hope that tomorrow will bring. jeffrey horowitz, thank you so much for your thoughts on what is clearly a very painful loss. our hearts are going out to you, other friends and family as well. thanks so much. philip seymour hoffman began acting in 1991 and it wasn't that long before his career would take off. just a year later a supporting role in "scent of a woman" won critical acclaim. he won for the 2005 movie, capote. nominated for best supporting actor three times there after along with three tony nominations. he also directed films and

plays. and hoffman certainly didn't shy away from talking about past drug abuse. the actor even admitted last year that he had relapsed. joining me now, dr. drew pinsky, also host of dr. drew on call. it is very difficult as you heard from mr. horowitz, for a friend to talk about what he did or didn't notice about addiction, but given that mr. hoffman did talk publicly about this lifelong battle, now this is likely to open up a whole new dialogue that perhaps people have either put on the back burner or didn't want to talk about because it seems almost everyone has someone in their life who is dealing with some sort of addiction. what would be the dialogue? >> i hope so. but i've said in this seat way too many times in regards to way too many celebrities with the exact same circumstances, the exact same cause of death, so i just hope that the message is getting through. but based on after listening to his friend speak about him, i

want to emphasize something that i've been saying all day and i cannot emphasize strongly enough. this is not philip seymour hoffman the drug addict. the drug addict is separate. separate from his contributions. as though the cancer patient, no, he is a wonderful performer, an artist who happened to have a chronic medical condition we call addiction and that condition is often fatal and it took one of the best and brightest as it often does. >> said there are certain addictions, particularly those involving opiates, are lucky to make it to age 50. >> particularly the heroin of course, but if you have struggled with it from early in life, it is something that is not likely to let you see your 50s and 60s. there's not a 70-year-old heroin addict. they don't live that long. the real problem is that pills,

we're hearing little hints that pills were involved here. he apparently had sustained quality of recovery and it is unfortunately the medical system that does my patients ill service. the fact is you have a history of heroin addiction, you should not be put on painkillers. the problem with celebrities is they often seek special exceptional care. conrad murray was special exceptional care. that's what you end up with and particularly addicts are prone to getting sucked into real trouble in the medical system. >> thank you so much. appreciate it. and we'll continue to follow this breaking news on the death of philip seymour hoffman, but we're also checking in on another story. this, too, out of hollywood. filmmaker woody allen has responded to child abuse allegations against him. details on that right after this.
