Christie (and others) flew on 'Chairman's flight' that sparked scandal
Source: Newark Star-Ledger
Five months after former Port Authority Chairman David Samson illegally strong-armed United Airlines into adding an infamous route to Columbia, S.C., Gov. Chris Christie and his son flew on the "Chairman's flight," NJ Advance Media has learned.
Christie, according to travel records, spent a little less than a week out of the state and took his non-stop flight from Newark to South Carolina on Sunday, Jan. 27, 2013. Along with his son Andrew Christie, the governor visited Samson, who, according to court documents, had encouraged others late in 2012 to take advantage of the Chairman's flight and visit.
Last week, Christie's office said the governor had no knowledge that he was piggybacking on United's political favor for Samson, whom the governor appointed to the powerful Port Authority job in 2011.
