Hoboken mayor turns over journal AND OTHER DOCUMENTS to U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer turned over her journal and other documents to the U.S. Attorney’s Office Sunday, which she says show Governor Christie’s administration threatened to withhold Superstorm Sandy aid if she didn’t approve a development.

A spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office said the office does not discuss publicly its meetings and would not confirm whether the office is investigating Zimmer’s allegations.

The mayor released a statement saying she met with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark for several hours at their request and turned over the journal entry she cited as proof of her conversations with Guadagno and Constable.

“As they pursue this investigation, I will provide any requested information and testify under oath about the facts of what happened when the Lieutenant Governor came to Hoboken and told me that Sandy aid would be contingent on moving forward with a private development project,” Zimmer said in a statement.

The administration has denied Zimmer's allegations.

record about her allegations. Now that they know she can support her claim they'll shut up. I want a lot of quotes from Christie and his team claiming she is lying so there will be ample evidence of their cover-up.

She'd told them she had emails and personal notes according to MSNBC's reporting on the story yesterday. I think there was also one official letter to Christie's in there when I was looking through the documents, but I may be confused about that.

Since even that is under dispute, at least in the media reports.

Of course they "denied".. Guadagno said they would!
