Employees of a Newark-based law firm defending state officials in a whistleblower lawsuit filed by a former Hunterdon County assistant prosecutor have been contributing to Gov. Chris Christie's presidential campaign, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
The filings show employees of Gibbons PC contributed $7,400 to Christie's campaign between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31. They contributed $46,400 between July 1 and Sept. 30, more than any other source, the filings show.
The firm has also reportedly billed more than $2 million in expenses in defending Christie administration officials in a suit filed by former Hunterdon Assistant Prosecutor Bennet Barlyn.
Bill Palatucci, a longtime Christie aide and confidant and a member of the New Jersey Republican National Committee, is a key supporter of Christie's presidential campaign and serves as special counsel with Gibbons PC.
