Gov. Chris Christie faces tough questions on the bridge scandal

It is the first time he answered the public's questions since a news conference nearly a month ago, and once again he denied any knowledge of the traffic debacle. Anderson discussed all of this with Chief Congressional Correspondent Dana Bash, Chief Political Analyst Gloria Borger and Senior Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin.
