    Trump on Wednesday named Bill Stepien as deputy assistant to the president and political director.

    Stepien wasn’t charged in the so-called “Bridgegate” case. But the government’s star witness testified that the close Christie adviser knew about the plan to punish a Democratic mayor who didn’t endorse Christie.

    Stepien’s attorney has said his client had no role in the scheme.

    David Wildstein also testified Stepien knew about plans to use the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for political favors to gain endorsements from Democrats.

    Two former Christie allies were convicted in November and are to be sentenced next month.
