A former high-level Hunterdon County prosecutor who claims he was forced out after N.J. Gov. Chris Christie’s administration intervened in a criminal case against the county sheriff has asked the Bridgegate investigative committee to look into the incident.

Charles Ouslander said in a Feb. 11 letter that he had received unconfirmed information that the New Jersey Legislative Select Committee on Investigations “will at some point hold hearings on the unprecedented dismissal of the 43-count indictment secured by my office at the time and then abruptly dismissed by the Attorney General and her staff.”
