Christie reportedly fired from Trump transition for hogging camera, not working

  • 7 years ago
10 days after Chris Christie was abruptly dropped from Trump’s transition team and replaced by Vice-President-elect Mike Pence, reasons for the governor’s firing started surfacing.
Previous reports hinted Trump cut Christie because he was disgusted with the governor’s handling of the Bridgegate scandal.
According to Yahoo News, a new reason has surfaced.
Trump was reportedly angry that the governor tried to maneuver his way into the camera’s view during the president-elect’s speech on Election Night.
On top of that, for weeks, Christie neglected the job of running Trump’s transition and was so absent from the campaign that his presence on Election Night surprised staffers.
The little work Christie had done finding people to fill administration roles didn’t please Trump either, because so many of them were lobbyists, according to the report.
