election. >> it is alleged that governor christie was told that week about the scheme. and there was a telling moment from the u.s. prosecutor when he indicated that one of the reasons they brought charges is because bill bridget, and david all denied publicly and shortly thereafter that -- that there had been any sort of scheme. so the key question for governor christie it was alleged that he was victimized by rogue aids and he was not part of this. does this investigation now lead to him. is david whilesteen now providing information to the prosecutors that would allege that governor christie has broken any laws himself? or can they get one of the others to flip and make the same accusation and this comes just a couple of weeks before chris christie is hoping to launch his presidential campaign. and this is not going to endear him to fund providers. he was in south carolina this morning. it was expected the announcement was going to come today. he made a little joke about developing news but there has been no direct reaction yet from him or his attorneys. >> terrific.

so we had -- we should say chris christie governor christie as soon as this was announced yesterday,took to twitter, he put out a statement saying this backs up everything i said from day one y. didn't know anything about this as it was happening. i didn't have any role in planning this. at the same time the lawyer for wildstein comes out of the courthouse yesterday and he repeats to the press, chris christie knew about this at the time and there is evidence to prove it. prosecutors -- they are vouching for david wildstein's credibility in cutting a deal with him h. do you believe that nobody beyond these three knew or was involved in this? >> i think if david wildstein's attorney had something that would have implicated governor christie it would have been -- the get out of jail free card that would have been utilized. you had a u.s. attorney that over an extended period of time has investigated this has interviewed everybody. has interviewed the governor himself. and you have david wildstein facing really jail time. if he had had anything to implicate somebody other than the two th

chris christie right now versus chriss chris christie two years ago, he was a rock star. have you seen watching him up close, do you see a different chris christie? >> yeah. he's more guarded and less friendly and outgoing behind the scenes. he still does his town hall meetings and looks like chris christie. you can tell there's concern there. they are concerned about this and i would be to if my only defense was i didn't know what was going on around me. >> a conservative leader said wait you're a former u.s. attorney. you can't trust people. thanks to matt and bob as well. still ahead this morning, today's day of prayer and healing in baltimore. how does that city move on? the mayoral round table, they will be here to discuss. and next fight night in vegas at this hour. it is still probably fight night in vegas. we will go live on the sunset strip for more on whether the fight of the century actually lived up to the hype. (vo) maggie wasn't thrilled when ben and i got married. i knew it'd take some time. and her sensitive stomach didn't make things easier. it was hard t

. >> and that's when they sent detectives over to dale and christy's house. >> dale would have christyner to him and that's how they met was out that job site when she would bring meals to him. >> when questioned about brian's disappearance, christy said she had been home all evening and hadn't seen him and dale said he was running errands all day. >> when his car broke down, he kaled his friend billy who was at a local bar here. >> five days after brian disappeared, his wife jennifer, discovered a potential clue. >> i found bills of credit cards that we didn't have together and a phone bill. >> she discovered that he was having an affair with christy bradley. >> it was a double whamy that everything had been shattered, everything that i had dreamed and hoped for was gone. >> jennifer also discovered that christy was with brian in las vegas a few weeks earlier. when confronted with this information, christy admitted the affair to both the police and her husband. >> she told me that she thought brine was really nice and dale was controlling to her and christy didn't like to be tied down

christie has long-denied any role as political retribution. bret baier sat down with him recently to talk about a possible run for the white house but they also spoke about bridgegate and the toll that may take as a presidential contender. >> a town hall at a pub worked out generally okay. i think that worked out generally all right. nobody walked out, nobody threw a beer at me. >> chris christie is used to the occasion contentious crowd at his town hall meetings. >> nothing in our society works without competition. >> reporter: christie has been doing these events for years, taking whatever the crowds are giving and often dishing it right back. >> i'd be more than happy to have a debate with you, guy, because somebody like you don't know a damn thing that you're talking about. >> reporter: now his town halls seem laser focused on one state, new hampshire, the first in the nation presidential primary state. >> governor you're in the process of deciding we're told. >> yes. >> when does that decision happen? >> you know i think sometime in june.

>> this scandal is by no means over by governor chris christie.s is a stunning remarkable turn around from an early presidential frontrunner for the republican party. now clearly weeks before he has to make a final decision about whether to get into an already crowded republican presidential field, you've got the ghost of bridge gate still hanging over him. it's his word against one of his former political allies in a high stakes game of political finger pointing. at the time when governor christie needs to change the political narrative, these bridge gate headlines are dogging his political career. >> the "new york post" today, bridge gate closes christie's white house road. i was seeing other similar headlines. in addition to what wildstein's guilty plea charges have been filed against bridget kelly, a former christie aide and bill baroni of the port authority. they've been saying this since 2013, even if christie didn't know the buck stops with him. it says something about his management style and culture. is that fair? >> the political culture

david hasn't produced any evidence that chris christie knew.tie, including today, contended he's done nothing wrong and knew nothing about the whole scheme. now, david wildstein says he has the evidence that chris christie knew about it and is eager to testify. we know that there is likely to be a trial now, at which david wildstein will get to testify. if he has that evidence, that will be his opportunity to share it. new jersey governor chris christie is running for president. right now, he hasn't declared but he's obviously running for president. today, he was busy running for president in virginia. can he actually make a run for president while this is going on? maybe. yeah, because weirdly enough, this year, chris christie has company. rick perry, one of the other potential republican candidates, he is currently under indictment for allegedly abusing the powers of his office while he was governor of texas. wisconsin governor scott walker is running for president, while his own gubernatorial campaign at home is facing questions, and a pair

first, chris christie. his old pal pled guilty to two conspiracy counts of bridge gate while his lawyer said evidence exists implicating the governor in the scandal. paul fishman did not lay a finger on the big man himself. in a press conference this afternoon, he said this -- paul fishman: based on the evidence available to us today we will not bring further charges. john: after today, with respect to christie's 2016 ambitions, is he on shaky ground or firmer ground? mark: shaky ground. if you take today's plea deal and the fact the prosecutor showed these facts, christie will not be indicted, he is on firmer ground. it is hard for me to believe these three people were the only people involved. mark: you saw his people trumpeting the fact. we are exactly where we were the day he gave that press conference a year ago where he said no connection, no connection. nothing has changed. all of that is true. he is a guy with very little credibility but there is something about the fact that he keeps saying he has

christie and it wasn't. >> the indictment allegedes and mr. wildstein admitted that he, kelly and barrone executed a plan to suddenly and without warning drastically reduce number of local access lanes to the bridge knowing full well and inn ten ago this this maneuver would grid lock fort lee. >> i never ordered or conspired with david wildstein to close or realign lanes of the bridge for any reason much less for retribution. >> reporter: well that was bridget kelly's first public statement since she has been known for that famous e-mail, time for some traffic problems in fort lee that got this whole investigation going. she came out friday with a very strong statement not waiting for her public appearance in federal court but allude to go that earlier report that the governor's office ordered by that law firm, very expensive firm in new york, saying that she will no long's how the lies about her to go unchallenge and let those christie staffers quoted in that early governor's bridge gate report to publishly discredit or even humiliate her. bo

why is it christie has fallen in these new hampshire polls?uestions that has been raised by this conduct that has ultimately proven to be criminal. while he does say on one hand look, i led on this, i stepped out there, i was honest, wasn't the fact that this happened at all a failure in leadership? i think there are questions about whether or not -- you know, how -- how is it that he was playing the role of the strong leader if he didn't even know that this was going on, right? so i think that these questions are going to dog him all along the way and i think one of the other things you're seeing in these polls is the reality is this is a wide field with a lot of quality candidate toes choose from. if christie was the only republican to choose from in this fight, it might be a different story, but the fact is republican voters have so many choices here it butts christie at a serious disadvantage. >> casey, i watched christie one time and he was better received than any republican i've seen for him in new hampshire. how is that going now? >> h

christie christie's comeback. new bringgate indictment. can he put the scandal behind him? a $300 million. is this sport of boxing still standing? from abc news this week with george stephanopoulos begins now. >> we begin in baltimore. that is a live shot of city hall. sunny and calm ahead of more rallies today. the maryland governor calling for a day of prayer and peace after a tul mull chous week. a mother showing her son some very tough love. that surreal scene wednesday. orioles playing the white sox. not a sickle fanngle fan in the stands. and six officers charged for the death of freddie gray. sparking a national conversation on crime. we begin in baltimore with abc's jim avila. good morning, jim. >> reporter: the protests and marches continue here. some large in size. mostly peaceful. the real trouble coming mostly at night at curfew time overnight a curfew still in effect. more protests and baltimore's police commissioner saying he'll wait for the investigation to proceed. >> now we have the confidence that the truth will come out and the truth will overcome for all

three of chris christie's christie's staffers are indicted. >>> a growing crisis, a week after the earthquake in nepal to find people who are still living. >>> and elon musk's new battery what it will cost you to go off the grid. >>> good evening i'm antonio mora, this is al jazeera america. mixed reactions in baltimore after state's attorney marilyn mosby called gray's arrest illegal, six were taken into custody and later released on bond. >> mr. gray's death was a homicide. we have probable cause to believe a murder occurred. >> all six charged with assault four with manslaughter, the most serious against caesar goodson second degree reckless heart murder which means reckless disregard of a person's life. the state's attorney's statements that freddy gray statement that he couldn't breathe and request for an inhaler. >> no medical assistance was provided for mr. gray by any police officer. >> the statement by the police union backed the officers. >> no officer injured mr. gray, caused harm to mr. gray and they are truly saddened by his death. these officers did nothing wrong. >> reporter: t

he didn't find any smoking gun on chris christie. does that mean chris christie should be considered in the clear on this? >> i think it's premature to make those conclusions. i also think that it doesn't really adequately characterize what our report or what the u.s. attorney said today. our report said that we didn't have any findings one way or another about the governor's involvement. mr. fisherman today said that base on the evidence he has he doesn't foresee any additional charges. these are more than just continuing to press the narrative that the governor knew nothing about this. i mean the fact of the matter is that people that he trusted, people that he put into position, people that were his spokespeople at the port authority carried out a very bizarre and very mean-spirited plan to deprive people in ft. lee of the ability to get across town. so this is more than simply whether an indictment will come. it's about a moral responsibility of a man like chris christie. >> do you believe -- you have david wildstein, his lawyer

with two others in christie's circle. powerful political appointee and deputy chief of staff, both have pleaded not guilty. >> david wildstein is a liar. >> nowhere on friday's indictments is christie alleged to have known about the plot. >> based on the evidence currently available to us, we're not going to charge anybody else in this scheme. >> christie took that as total exoneration. tweeting that make clear that what i have said from day one is true. i had no knowledge or involvement in the planning or execution of this act. still the controversy has been a serious blow to christie once considered a leading presidential contender. the fiery christie first joked about the traffic mess. >> i worked the cones actually. >> then admitted he was embarrassed by the alleged actions of his inner circle. >> i am stunned by the stupidity and i knew nothing about this. >> but bridget anne kelly hinted there may be more to come. >> to suggest that i was the only person in the governor's office who was aware of the george washingto

the stop christie appointee. it's david wildstein who has asserted through his iran that chris christie had knowledge of those closures as they were playing out. and wildstein has further asserted through his lawyer that evidence exists to substantiate that. so this raises one of the questions we'll be looking at today is if federal prosecutors have cut a deal with david wildstein, does that mean they accept what david wildstein's lawyer said? that chris christie knew about this? that there is evidence that confirms that? that's one of the things to be looking at. the second thing is what else will be said? that hearing at 11:00, because what will happen is david wildstein l plead guilty to certain crimes. he will then be forced by the judge to detail his role in those crimes to detail the nature of those crimes so that is potentially when we will finally start to get at least one person's answer to the question that's been central toll this from the very beginning: why were these lanes closed? what was the motiv

and it governor christie placed fourth.struggle was retired neurosurgeon ben carson then wisconsin governor scott walker followed by ted cruz and then governor governor christie who beat out jeb bush. we have in studio via skype grover norquist the pres. of americans for tax reform to give us insight on whether or not this is a big deal for governor christie. >> absolutely. it is a big deal. there are a lot of people on the ballot. governor christie came in 4th. bill: if you think about it it really is incredible. a northeastern governor considered a moderate by many to fall that well is impressive. why is he why is he appealing? on the other do you think he is straddling that fence being appealing to conservatives and also appealing to moderates? taking away some of the thunder from jeb bush is probably the most significant thing that happened. >> interestingly he has left a lot on the table. when he stepped in and pastrami out of the way a lot of people that the establishment, more moderate candidate position was taken. h

and chris christie is not among them. things change very quickly when people start looking at jail time. but if you're going to take a pause and look at what this investigation found, it did not find a smoking gun linking chris christie in knowledge or oversight of closing the lanes. >> but can i amplify that for a second? i think there's a couple things you have to consider here. first of all, who the government is cutting its deal with here. so the prosecutors now are basically going to rely on david wildstein as their star witness. the credibility of their case rests on the credibility of david wildstein. one of the first things that david wildstein's lawyer said when he left the courtroom today is that governor christie was aware of these closures as they were happening, that evidence exists that he knew and that that evidence has been provided to federal prosecutors. they asked paul fishman about that, the u.s. attorney, in his press conference. he didn't want to address these. so they are linking their credibility a

is chris christie, out of all the states they poll, chris christie is definitely the governor who was more hated by his own constituents than any other governor. nobody has poll numbers as bad as he does within his home state. and so you would think that is awkward if you want to run for president on the basis of what a great job you've done as governor in your home state. it's awkward if your home state thinks you've done a terrible job unless you have a secret decoder ring that explains how your seemingly terrible numbers are actually excellent numbers if you only look at them the right way. >> the polls in new jersey right now say by a 65% to 29% margin the new jersey voters say you would not make a good president. now they know you the best. why shouldn't we trust them? >> they want me to stay. a lot of those people in the 65% want me to stay, and i've heard that from lots of people at town hall meetings. don't leave to run for president because we want you to stay. >> they say you would not make a good president. >> i think people hear the question they want to hear. >> no, no, n
