The law firm defending Gov. Chris Christie’s administration in the George Washington Bridge scandal has billed $6.5 million for its work, new public records show.

Along with other government legal costs related to the shutdown of bridge access lanes by Christie’s top aides, total expenditures now top $8.5 million. That money is being paid by taxpayers and by motorists who pay tolls on bridges and tunnels operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
