Christie took aim at the former president several times during a town hall.
," Christie told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos "there's only one lane to the Republican nomination for president and Donald Trump is at the head of it, and you have to go right through him and make the case against him."On the evidence featured in the indictment, Christie, a former federal prosecutor, called it "a very tight, very detailed, evidence-laden indictment.
"I mean, put aside taking the documents in the first place," Christie said. "But then when you start getting asked... nicely with a letter from the archivist saying, 'Could you please give it back,' and you ignore it, ignore it, ignore it. Then they come with a grand jury subpoena, and then, according to the indictment, you tell your lawyers to tell them we don't have anything even though you have dozens and dozens of boxes of material.
"This is vanity run amok, Anderson, run amok," he said. "Ego run amok, and he is now going to put this country through this when we didn't have to go through it. Everyone's blaming the prosecutors. He did it. It's his conduct." Christie also called out his fellow Republicans, some of whom he said are "scared" of Trump and others who are "playing political games" with voters.
"I watched the [Iowa Sen.] Joni Ernst roast and ride [fundraiser] thing. It was like [Trump] was Voldemort from Harry Potter. Nobody wanted to mention his name," Christie said. "I mean, how do you beat someone if you won't talk about them? How do you beat them if you won't distinguish yourself from them?"
