Biography Flash: Chris Christie Slams Trump's Attack on Justice and Free Speech

Chris Christie Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Chris Christie has been back in the national spotlight over the past few days, fueled by major public appearances and his usual flair for unfiltered straight talk. Just this past Sunday, Christie appeared on ABC’s “This Week” alongside ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith. The two sparred on live television about the Trump administration’s latest moves to pressure Attorney General Pam Bondi and other officials to aggressively prosecute political rivals—a headline generating episode that’s still reverberating across political media. Christie did not mince words, saying Trump “wants to be a prosecutor in every district where he has an enemy,” and warned this approach “creates a slippery slope in our justice system.” According to ABC’s own Jonathan Karl, their conversation wasn’t just pundit chatter but an insightful discussion about the long-term damage such personalized justice could inflict on American traditions of fairness.

That same appearance gave Christie a platform to address escalating attacks on free speech coming from the Trump White House, including efforts to pressure the FCC and broadcasters to silence late-night comedians and critical voices. Christie’s bipartisan willingness to call out his former ally sharply distinguishes him from the current Republican mainstream and ensures his comments become key talking points in Sunday political recaps and clips on social media. So far, Christie hasn’t held back on social or traditional media about the stakes: he has blasted attempts to politicize the Department of Justice and free speech norms as a matter dangerous enough to make the history books.

Beyond major TV, Christie has not announced any new business projects or campaign moves in the last 48 hours, and no verified reports have surfaced about fresh consulting gigs, book deals, or business investments. Rumors do swirl online about Christie possibly weighing a post-election media role—some suggest cable news, others a regular podcast circuit—but nothing reliable has landed yet. He was notably absent from the conservative memorial in Glendale, Arizona, where Trump, J.D. Vance, and conservative media big names gathered—an absence that only heightens speculation about his current distance from the MAGA core. On the lighter side, Christie’s Twitter, now mostly policy-focused, remains silent on the pop culture jabs that have followed him throughout his public life; there have been no new viral social moments targeting his weight or sparking tiffs as seen in cycles past.

No bombshell headlines or scandals marks the last 24 hours for Chris Christie, but his forceful interventions against politicized justice and attacks on speech are guaranteed to be lasting entries in the next chapter of his biography.
