New Jersey Lieutenant Governor Blasts Hoboken Mayor's Allegations As 'Offensive' And Illogical'

On Sunday, Zimmer met with the office of the U.S. Attorney of New Jersey for several hours about her allegations. She said in a statement that she would be willing to testify under oath about the claims. "As they pursue this investigation, I will provide any requested information and testify under oath about the facts of what happened when the Lieutenant Governor came to Hoboken and told me that Sandy aid would be contingent on moving forward with a private development project," Zimmer said in the statement. The Christie administration has pushed back on Zimmer's allegations all weekend, noting the good working relationship between the offices. On Monday, Guadagno said she was surprised by the claims because she "thought she had a good relationship" with Zimmer. "In fact just three months after this conversation she said we had occurred I was walking on the streets with her in Hoboken talking to her about urban markets - just three months after this conversation she said we had and five months before she went to MSNBC." Guadagno did not take questions after the press conference.
