TRENTON, N.J. — For the quondam two years, Jeff Chiesa had just one client: Gov. Chris Christie. And when he wasn't working for him as the governor's chief guidance, or as his Christie's executive assistant at the U.S. Attorney's office, he was working alongside him in personal dating back 20 years.
Now, as the state's newest Attorney Community, Chiesa is the one setting the agenda and overseeing a dozen divisions, more than 650 attorneys, and the Federal Police.
In an hourlong interview with The Associated Press, he said it's a r he never envisioned for himself but one worth embracing.
"I didn't appreciate the scope of the line that's done here," he said from his office overlooking the Delaware River in Trenton.
He listed rooting out corruption by public officials, stemming urban vehemence, and stopping child pornographers and human traffickers as his top priorities, but also said some things would bide the same.
He won't overturn a rule formalized by his predecessor, Paula Dow, which blocks access to records showing how much overtime is paid to sui generis state troopers and other state law enforcement officers, including any authenticate that reveals an officer's assignment. The rule was codified last month as part of several measures to clear more records confidential, including those that detail background investigations or evaluations for job applicants and those dealing with worker discipline, discharges or promotions.
