President Trump and Governor Christie hold a "listening session" at the White House, marking the first public event of the drug addiction commission which Trump had appointed Christie to chair on the previous day. On March 28 of 2017 Bridget Anne Kelly, Governor Christie's former deputy chief-of-staff and Bill Baroni, former deputy executive director of the Port Authority, are sentenced to 18 months and 24 months, respectively, as a result of their convictions in the Bridgegate trial relating to the closing of access lanes to the George Washington Bridge, ostensibly to punish the mayor of Fort Lee for his refusal to support the re-election of Governor Christie. In May 2020, however, the US Supreme Court unanimously vacates their convictions in Kelly v. United States, holding that since there was no finding that they had sought to obtain money or property, Baroni and Kelly could not have violated the federal-program fraud or wire fraud laws.
