Donald Trump on Friday said he has “great confidence” in Chris Christie as the leader of his transition team, while also saying he hasn’t been paying attention to the Bridgegate trial.

The New Jersey governor's reputation has taken another big blow during an aide’s trial that has produced embarrassing revelations about his possible complicity in the notorious lane closures at the George Washington Bridge.


But Trump said he’s not concerned.

“Well I have great confidence in him,” Trump told Fox News’ Bret Baier. “I have not been following the trial. I don't know really.”

Trump added, “It'll be interesting to see what happens. But I do like him very much, and I do have confidence in him, and I hope it all works out well for him.”
