Feds clear Chris Christie over Hurricane Sandy ads
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) did not misuse federal relief funds to produce pro-tourism ads following Hurricane Sandy, the federal government has concluded.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development opened an investigation earlier this year into the bidding process for the $25 million ad campaign. At issue was an allegation that Christie — who appeared in the ads as he was running for re-election — picked a firm that offered to feature his family in the spot over one that would not have given him airtime.
