Christie aide quits amid Bridgegate

- S.A. Miller, Post Wires

A member of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s administra­tion who was subpoenaed in the Bridgegate probe has resigned.

Christina Genovese Renna, the governor’s director of intergover­nmental affairs, left Friday — the day former Port Authority official David Wildstein claimed to have evidence contradict­ing Christie’s account of a laneclosin­g operation that created traffic chaos in an apparent political vendetta.

Renna reported to Deputy Chief of Staff Bridget Anne Kelly, who set the lane closings in motion with an email to Wildstein.

Renna issued a statement saying she had considered leaving since Christie’s reelection in November.

She is among 17 people close to Christie who have been subpoenaed by a legislativ­e panel in Trenton.

Meanwhile, the New Jersey assemblyma­n leading the investigat­ion threw cold water Sunday on claims there’s evidence implicatin­g Christie.

“We don’t really know what the evidence is,” Democrat John Wisniewski said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

He challenged Wildstein’s claim that there is evidence Christie knew at the time about the September lane closures on the George Washington Bridge.

Wisniewski insisted that the evidence wasn’t in the reams of documents from Wildstein that have been handed over to his panel.
