Corzine Campaign Statement On The Brown Resignation

The following statement was released by Corzine campaign spokesperson, Elisabeth Smith, shortly after the sudden news of the resignation of Michele A. Brown, the acting first assistant U.S. Attorney for New Jersey:

"Michele Brown’s resignation today does nothing to put to rest questions about Christie’s conduct both in and outside of the U.S. Attorney’s office. Whether it was illegally laying the groundwork for his gubernatorial campaign from the U.S. Attorney’s office with the help of Karl Rove, maintaining a secret financial relationship with the number two at the U.S. Attorney’s office during his campaign, or rewarding political cronies with millions of dollars in no-bid contracts, Christie still must answer to serious legal and ethical questions. He can start by demanding the immediate release of public documents from his tenure as U.S. Attorney as requested by the Corzine campaign.”
