Even as his name is scrubbed from the law firm he co-founded, David Samsons association with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie cant be so easily erased.
They forged their relationship more than a decade ago as prosecutors targeted by a street gang. When Christie was elected governor in 2009, Samson was transition leader before the Republican appointed him chairman of the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, the agency that controls the regions major airports, bridges and tunnels.
Now, Samson, 75, is emerging as a central figure in an investigation that could embarrass Christie as he considers a White House run. Paul Fishman, the U.S. attorney in Newark, is examining Samsons role in a political plot to block traffic at the George Washington Bridge in 2013. Also under scrutiny are Samsons legal work and airline flights between New Jersey and South Carolina, where his wife has a home, that began after he joined the agency.
For personal, professional and health reasons, I have made the decision to retire.

If someone that close to Christie, that intertwined in his gubernatorial life, came out against him and said compromising things, its going to be hard for Christie to sustain a viable candidacy, said Julian Zelizer, a Princeton University professor of history and public affairs.
