A Los Angeles-based law firm that discharged New Jersey Governor Chris Christie of his transgressions in the George Washington Bridge scandal gave $10,000 to a Republican group he leads.

According to CBS News, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher slid a hefty check to the Republican Governors Association just nine days before an internal probe of the issue was publicized.

Christie reportedly commissioned GD&C to check out whether the governor was involved with the scandal, in which members of his staff allegedly planned specific lane closures on the New York City bridge. The review ended by stating that Governor Christie "had no knowledge beforehand."

The law firm then donated $10,000 to the RGA on March 18. Christie is one of the chairs of this organization, and has participated in a slew of fundraising efforts for its representatives, CBS reported on Wednesday.

The Bergen Record stated that Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher frequently donateed money to the Republican Governors Association. One of the firm's partners is also a member of an RGA leadership board.

CBS reported that GD&C officials didn't make any monetary contributions to the Democratic Governors Association from 2012-2014.

Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher's involvement with Chris Christie comes just one day after the New Jersey governor stated his support for letting donors give as much money as they'd like to any political candidates they support.

"So if somebody wants to write me a $100,000 check for my campaign, great," Christie said during a town hall meeting in Somerset. "But 48 hours later, everybody who has the Internet will know that Mr. Smith gave me a $100,000 check."

Contributors can donate large amounts of cash to candidates under the new proposal, but the must publicly report just how much money they've given soon after the grant's been given.
