Bridgegate so far 16 Aug 2014 New
Jersey taxpayers have been billed $6.52 million so far this year by Gov. Chris
Christie's private attorneys dealing with the aftermath of the George Washington
Bridge scandal, according to invoices released today by acting state Attorney
General John Hoffman. Lawyers at Gibson Dunn & Crutcher billed $3.26 million
in March and April, the invoices show. They also billed $3.26 million in January

Dunn and other law firms may still be billing for work beyond
April.
