President Donald Trump threatened both former governor Chris Christie and broadcaster ABC News with legal action this weekend, according to a report from CNN. The former reality star and ever-controversial politician made multiple posts about both subjects on the alt-tech website Truth Social on Sunday, the same day Christie took to ABC’s “This Week” to discuss what he characterized as a pattern of political intimidation by the 47th President.

“Donald Trump sees himself as the person who gets to decide everything, and he doesn’t care about any separation,” Christie told ABC News during his interview (via CNN). “In fact, he absolutely rejects the idea that there should be separation between criminal investigations and the politically elected leader of the United States.”

The discussion came about in response to a Friday report that the FBI had invaded the home of politician John Bolton, who served as Trump’s national security adviser during his first term until the commander-in-chief fired him in 2019 over alleged foreign policy disputes. Since his removal, Bolton has since become one of the President’s most prolific underlings-turned-critics, publishing his experiences in the 2020 book The Room Where It Happened: A White House’s Memoir. Trump, a convicted felon, has threatened to jail Bolton on multiple occasions for allegedly disclosing classified information in the novel; Friday’s raid marks the second time the commander-in-chief’s Justice Department has seemingly investigated the former security advisor in an attempt to make good on that promise, though Trump denies direct involvement (according to CNN).

Hours after Christie’s interview, Trump posted the following statement on Truth Social, which was then obtained by CNN:

Per CNN, Trump’s mention of the George Washington Bridge appears to be an explicit reference to the Fort Lee lane closure scandal, a 2013 political crisis during Christie’s tenure as governor in which multiple of his appointees conspired to intentionally create traffic jams on the upper level of the bridge (supposedly, to punish Fort Lee mayor Mark Sokolich for not supporting Christie in the most recent gubernatorial election.) Christie himself was never implicated in the scandal (also known as Bridgegate) and has persistently denied any culpability.

When asked on Monday whether he plans to investigate Christie for the scandal, Trump gave a non-substantive answer. “I don’t know if they want to look at it. It’s not for me. If they want to look at it, they can. You could ask Pam (Bondi),” Trump told news outlets, according to CNN. “I think we have other things to do, but I always thought he got away with murder.”

ABC News, which hosted the interview with Christie, was also a target of the President’s venom on Sunday. Less than an hour after his previous post, Trump posted the following statement to Truth Social, obtained via CNN:

Since returning to office, Trump has waged war on what he perceives as unfair coverage by some of America’s largest news organizations and media franchises. In the last month, the President has rowed with South Park, PBS, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, while the last year has seen him settle lawsuits with Paramount and ABC (via NPR). Trump has also repeatedly called on the Federal Communications Commission to revoke the broadcasting licenses of networks he feels paint him in an unfair light, but these appeals have yet to crystallize — likely because the FCC only distributes licenses to individual broadcast stations, not networks (via Reuters). However, FCC chair and recent Trump appointee Brendan Carr has previously indicated he would conduct a probe into the president’s allegations, so nothing is completely off the table.

As of Tuesday, August 26th, neither Christie or ABC News have formally responded to the President’s threats (via CNN).
