then there's bridget, a 25-year-old woman, who is looking forward to the wither of her third child. she initially had a normal ultrasound. her second trawl sound showed a cardiac malforformation, a fatal problem. because tests could only confirm this fatal defect later in the pregnancy, she couldn't make a decision until after the 20 weeks. now, what right does a united states senator have to get in the middle of her most personal, most private, most difficult decisions? there is place for government. it's to make life better for people. it's to say, we're with you; we have your back; we need what you're going through. not to make life so difficult for people. in missouri, julie and her husband were told relatively early in her pregnancy that the baby they were expecting had multiple abnormalities and would not survive outside the wound. but it took her three weeks to locate an abortion provider because they had shut down so many providers, madam president. they found out under missouri's restrictive laws she ha she'd ho travel two hours on two separate occasions to comply with the

here as a ed commander of a bridget the division in 3 kaufrps. i personally experienced the resiliency of the oldiers and families and community. the fort hood family has been central to the army's success 13 years of war. haring in our victories and grieving when we lost those dearest to us. for us and our families when we deployed to iraq or her afghanistan. you were there for us when we struggled to understand and from the events of november 5, 2009. the loss of 13 people. today, we are here to tell you and show you that our army and our nation are here for you. we cannot help but feel the echoes of that most horrible day in the tragedy we now face. for many across the fort hood community, the events last week reopened the wounds of five years ago. we are heartbroken that those same units and soldiers, families and communities who have supported unit after unit of deployments to iraq and afghanistan and have sacrificed so much must endure yet another burden. we must come together as an army, as a community and as a nation, to learn from wednes

i think that he also said at that time that bridget kelly had some knowledge about it. that, again, triggered us to go back to bridget kelly and asked her, and she said she did not. mike did not bring it directly to me. that is not our relationship. you need to understand this -- that is not a revolving door. it's not where anyone can walk in on any topic they want and have at me. there is a process around here. people report to certain people. if they want to get information to me, they go through channels. the people who had unfettered access to me were kevin o'dowd and charlie mckenna and everyone else in the office reported to either kevin o'dowd were charlie mckenna. i have seen some recounting of this in the press and the section about, why did not this person come to you? i'm the governor of new jersey. i don't have everyone walk in my door saying, hey, something i would like to tell you. to be able to run an efficient and effective office, you have to have lanes of traffic, especially moving towards me. i thought you would like that. [laughter] come on, everybod

responsible members of your profession would be engaged in about what went on in that meeting between me and bridget kelly. i have been in this business a long time and i made that decision. it was my decision and i have absolutely no second thoughts about it because i have note great degree of confidence that i would have gotten anything different from her then than i did in december when these questions were asked of her. >> you said you would been doing a lot of soul-searching for less couple of weeks. about some of the things that david wildstein has done the port authority and they have resonated through the halls -- i'm wondering if you did that soul-searching, what did you find out about yourself? nothing that relates to the premise of your question. the premise of your question is so riddled with inaccuracies that it is hard to reroute -- hard for me to respond to it. said,wildstein, as i have never was and never has been a close personal friend of mine. david wildstein is a close personal friend of bill brody -- bill baroni. it was him who brought him into the port authority with my permiss

there was no exit interview with bridget kelly. the decision was made when these revelations that came as a shock about the role that she should be fired and the decision was made to fire her then and there and then when one looks back in hindsight on that we can understand exactly why that decision was made so that no one could suggest there was any attempt in interviewing bridget kelly to do anything to reflect what would be the future investigation of her. >> [inaudible] >> i appreciate the question. we have to do what other people have a question. let me finish with a follow-up. what i have liked to confront bridget kelly are what a lot of people in the governor's office liked to confront her at that moment? i think the answer is obvious. the answer is yes. but the decision to fire speaks of somebody who made a decision because she had to be fired because she had lied to him and we respect that decision. >> [inaudible] were there any crimes committed? >> i'm not going to comment on the latter category. that will be up to the ot

bridget kelly calls renner that night. she calls him that night on the 12th and she has him recount what he recalls happened during that week. renner does recall that. she recalls the complaint to ifa and renner reporting it back to kelly and she recalls renner writing back later that night "good." that is a potentially incriminating e-mail. what does renner do? what does kelly say to renner? she asks him to delete that? that is somebody trying to cover up their misconduct, covered up from the chief of staff and the governor. and what happens the next day? the next day, kevin o'dowd is in her office because he was dealing with her by phone on the 12th. demandinger office that she go through her e-mails and see which you can find. guess what she does to cover up? what does she do? she prints out just the e-mail that reflects the complaint. she cuts off the trail trichet only gives him the e-mail that says sokolich complained that week which by her account -- it was not that significant at the time. she said she did not call

would i have liked to confront bridget kelly? what a like -- what a lot of people in the governor's office been able to -- would a lot of people in the governor's office like to have confronted her? the governor fired her. he made a decision because he believed she had to be fired because she had lied to him and his chief of staff and others in the governor's office, and i respect that decision. >> the small group of people that you describe, whose motives you don't know, what does this say about the governor's style? also, do you think there were any crimes committed here? comment on going to the latter category. that will be to other investigators to determine. midday. not part of the these are breaches of public trust, a wholly separate question as to whether -- as to what else they might constitute. as to the first part of your somethingit goes to that has been raised by others. members of the legislative committee during the investigation who have seen the evidence we have seen. as of today, we have substantially completed a

and that when those appropriate inquirilies were made, bridget -- inquiries were made, bridget kelly lied to her colleagues and even reached out to a subordinate and asked them to destroy a potentially incriminating dc unit. document. and we further found that it was not until january the 8th, 2014, when documented that had been subpoenaed were first revealed that they showed that david wildstein and bridget kelly had participated in this act, this decision and the implementation of it to realign this george washington bridge lanes at fort lee. and we further found based on our investigation that david wildstein is the person who originated this idea and orchestrated it. david wildstein went to bridget kelly for approval in the governor's office and that they had an ulterior motive for implementing that decision; to in some way target the may i don't have of fort lee -- the mayor of fort lee. we're not able to answer every question today. we're not able to answer what that ulterior motive was. but we can say that the evidence does not establish that that ulterior motive was to target

he went to bridget for approval of the governor's office and they had an ulterior motive to implement that decision to in some way to target the mayor. . .y of the air force and the global strike commander brief reporters about the investigation for 45 minutes. >> good afternoon. thank you for being here. character wherefores. we're going to provide you an update on for some four to five force improvement programs. we will discuss some of the findings from that investigation as well as on the enhancements that will take place. we will begin the statements. following those remarks we will take your questions. if we have time will take additional questions. also, when you're identified please stay in name and affiliation. if we don't have time to answer all your questions please get in touch. without any further ado harmelin traduced the hon. deliberately james and commander of the air force. >> thank you for joining us today. i promise you periodic updates about our very important nuclear mission. the incident at the air force base in their efforts to address these matters. and we're g

when those appropriate inquiries were made, bridget kelly lied to her colleagues. even reached out to subordinate and asked them to destroy a potentially incriminating document. we further found it was not 8 when documents that had been subpoenaed were first revealed. that david while staying and bridget kelly have act.cipated in this the decision of the implementation to realign the george washington bridge. we found based on our investigation david while staying is the person who originated the idea and orchestrated it. they had the material motive for implementing that decision to in some way target fort lee. we are not able to answer every question. we are not able to answer what the ulterior motive was. we can say that the evidence doesn't establish that all .errier motive was to target evidence.ontrary governor's office and christie campaign knew as early 2013 that he would not be endorsing the governor for reelection. by his own account, they continue to have good relations with the christie administration. as recently as may. we further find that when the g

we further found no evidence that anyone in the governor's office besides bridget kelly knew of this idea in advance or played any role in the decision or the implementation of it. what we did find was that after the decision to implement the laying realignment while it was going on and in its aftermath the members of the governor's office, some of them became aware of the laying realignment, inquired of port authority representatives and were told this was a legitimate traffic study and that it was an operational issue for the port authority to deal with. we further found that as the controversy grew by early december, as there were rumors about potential of others' involvement appropriate steps were taken to try to determine if anyone else in the governor's office, anyone in the governor's office was involved in the laying realignment decision. and when those appropriate inquiries were made bridget kelly lied to her colleagues and even reached out to subordinate and asked them to destroy a potentially incriminating document. and we further found it was not until january the eighth

as to bridget kelly, i have acted today. secondly, i was disturbed by the tone and behavior and attitude of callous indifference that was displayed in the e-mails by my former campaign manager. reading that, it made me lose my confidence in bill's judgment. you cannot have someone at the top of your political operation who you do not have confidence in. as a result, i have instructed no to not place his name in nomination for state party beirman and he will not considered for state party chairman. i have instructed him to withdraw his consultancy with republican governor's association. if i cannot trust someone's judgment, i cannot ask others to do so. i would not place him at the head of my political operation because of the lack of judgment that was shown in the e-mails that were revealed yesterday. that is also been communicated. to mr. stepien last night. there is no doubt that bill has been one of my closest advisers over the last five years. for that, i am sad today to have to take this action. i also know that i have

by 9:00, this morning bridget kelly was fired. by 7:00 yesterday evening bill was asked to leave my organization. that's pretty swift action for a day's work. that's exactly the way i'll continue to conduct myself. if there's any other information surrounding this that comes up or anything different that comes up over the course of the next our years. >> [inaudible] >> i can differentiate, phil, between people who have served me well and they haven't. of course there's always going to be some -- after something like this where you have been lied to, there's going to be some crisis in confidence. there always will be. anybody who tells you differently is not telling you the truth. they say to you this happened to you and you're not going to second-guess yourself at all, then you're just stupid. of course i second-guessed myself and gone through my head on some of this stuff. and in the future i'll try to be even more careful. but here's what i know about human beings, phil. i have hired a lot of them in my time. as u.s. attorney, a

this morning i terminated the employment of bridget kelly effective immediately. i terminated her employment because she lied to me. and i was getting done with my workout yesterday morning and got a call from mike medications director at around 8:55 a.m. informing me of the story that had just broken on the website and that was the first time that i knew about this and the first time that i had seen any of the documents that were revealed yesterday. so before i came out and spoke to all of you, i wanted to do the best that i could to try to get to the bottom on some of the soda when it came out i could answer questions as best as i can and take appropriate action if action was necessary. there is no doubt from reading e-mails yesterday in my mind that action was necessary. and that i wanted to make sure that i spoke to those people to make sure there is any other information that they were aware of that i had before it was active. and i will continue this process and i couldn't get it done yesterday. as i said, this is more information and as i uncover it, i will

we asked bridget kelly. she told us she didn't have any. we asked her if she was involved, she said she was not. we asked if she had any saidedge ends -- and she she didn't. i was surprised because i was told there was nothing there and there was. not a mystery. if you ask for something and someone deceives you and tells you it doesn't exist, what is the follow-up? are you sure? yes. have you searched your e-mails? yes. you don't have anything? no. ok, were you involved in any way? no. any knowledge? no. after that, what do you do? you would have to ask them, i don't know. i don't think so. >> [inaudible] >> no. i know you guys would love that if i actually did. i am not to that stage yet. to there i might get stage where i am angry -- i don't break things. you need to understand this. resolved tog here do my job and do what i am supposed to do. but i am a very sad person today. .hat is the emotion i feel a person close to me betrayed me. a person who i counted on and trusted for five years betrayed me. a person who i gave a high government

this morning i have terminated the employment of bridget kelly effective immediately. i've terminated her employment because she lied to me. i was done with my work out yesterday morning and i got a fall the a's call from mike in any case instructor about 8:50, 8:55 informing me of the story that just broke at the bergen report. this was the first time i knew about it in the first time i'd seen any of the documents revealed yesterday and so before i came out and spoke to all of you i wanted to do the best they could to try to get to the bottom of some of this so that when i came out i could answer questions as best i can and take appropriate action, action that was necessary. there is no doubt from reading those e-mails yesterday in my mind that action was necessary and then i wanted to make sure that i spoke to those people who advise me to make sure there's if there's any other information they were aware of that i had it before i acted. i'm going to continue this process. i couldn't get it all done yesterday. and as i said if there is more information that i and cov

>> [inaudible] can they find it hard to believe bridget -- as reflected in that e-mail yesterday. >> she had no prior approval. putting aside the supposition, she had no prior approval from the chief of staff who is her director to report, and she had no prior approval from the governor. she did not seek out and we were not informed about it. so if she acted in a manner that exceeded her authority, which seems, you know, to be a possibility, that's what she did. but i have no knowledge of this and neither did the chief of staff. melissa? >> [inaudible] >> i spoke to mike last night. david act that time was considering whether or not to resign. and he made the determination the next day in the meeting with the administration to resign, but i don't believe from my conversation with mike last night that that was the main topic of the dinner that night. the dinner was a social dinner, not a professional dinner. jenna? >> [inaudible] >> to the extent i can't, jenna. from what i know at this point, the position is that they were closed to do a traffic study. and i have heard nothing from t

and bridget could not tell me the truth. and bill, you do, what told me at the time is not contradicted by the e-mails, and but the e-mails and the color and character of e-mails have led me to conclude that i don't have confidence in his judgment any longer and that's what i asked him to move on, and he has. you know, at this point there are legislative hearings that will come and all the rest and i do want to get myself in the middle of that. that chairman said clear yesterday that he intends to ask bridget kelly and bill stepien to testify, and i don't, my gut says, john, it would be appropriate for me to get in the middle of that because then there would be all kinds of allegations about the conversation. so i think the smart thing for me to do is to ask those two books on a determination regarding their future to move on from there and talk to other folks who are still in my employ. yes. [inaudible] >> i believe, i believe that i've spoken to everyone who was mentioned in the e-mail, except or charlie mckenna, who is aw
