The US Supreme Court said it will accept the case involving Chris Christie’s Chief of Staff Bridget Kelly and deputy executive director of the Port Authority Bill Baroni, the two individuals found guilty on civil rights and fraud charges connected to the infamous Bridgegate scandal. The charges were brought after they, presumably under the direction of then-governor Chris Christie, ordered the closure of lanes on the George Washington Bridge in order to punish the mayor of Ft. Lee for not endorsing Christie for reelection.

Ever since her “time for some traffic problems” email came was publicly revealed, Kelly has been adamant about her innocence. Her argument before the Supreme Court, and what the justices will have to determine, is whether claiming a public policy reason for a decision, even though it was not the real reason the decision was made, is defrauding the government. Kelly claims she thought the lane closures were for a traffic study, but prosecutors contend otherwise, saying they were done for political revenge.

Kelly was fired by Christie in 2014 shortly after the scandal came to light. Christie has denied having any knowledge of the lane closures.

Kelly was due to begin a 13 month federal prison sentence in just two weeks.
