The first week’s testimony in the George Washington Bridge lane-closing trial has been aimed at putting two former allies of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at the center of a plot to punish a local mayor who didn’t endorse the Republican governor.

But revelations about Christie’s office behind-the-scenes and at the Port Authority that operates the bridge have gotten at least as much attention.

Christie acquaintance David Wildstein testified the Port Authority, where he previously worked, was used by Christie’s office as a source of political favors handed out to Democratic mayors whose endorsements Christie wanted.

Wildstein is back on the stand this week. He’s expected to tie his former boss, Bill Baroni, and former Christie deputy Bridget Kelly to a political revenge scheme against Fort Lee’s Democratic mayor.
