Trenton, NJ – Governor Chris Christie today issued the following statement on a story written by the Washington Post regarding the President’s Commission on Combating Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis:

“The comments attributed to me today by Congressman Kennedy are false. I speak for myself on this issue. Let me be very clear. I know that President Trump understands this issue and supports fighting this epidemic aggressively. In the days ahead, I am confident that the President’s actions will speak louder than anything else.”
