APNewsBreak: NJ senator (Frank Lautenberg) calls for Christie probe

[Hepburn]

TRENTON, N.J. - New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg is calling for a federal investigation into allegations that Chris Christie, the Republican candidate for governor, used his office for political gain while U.S. attorney.

The call for a Justice Department investigation follows months of accusations that Christie politicized the office of the top federal prosecutor.

Christie denies the charges.

However, he acknowledged having had conversations with Bush strategist Karl Rove about a possible run for governor. U.S. attorneys are barred from conducting political activity while in office.

19. Remember how Christie sandbagged Menendez?

the last time that Menendez was running for the Senate? He did so on orders from Karl Rove. This is poetic justice.
