New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says his office "Will cooperate with all appropriate inquiries" Into the controversies surrounding his administration.

Christie addressed the controversies at the top of his annual State of the State speech today. He said the previous week "has certainly tested this administration" And admitted that mistakes were made. "And as a result, we let down the people we are entrusted to serve."

The governor, considered a likely 2016 Republican presidential candidate, has been embroiled in two controversies over the last week: Aides and appointees allegedly engaged in a political payback scheme that closed lanes near the the George Washington Bridge, and CNN reported Monday that federal investigators were looking into whether Christie's administration misused funds for the Superstorm Sandy recovery in tourism ads that featured Christie and his family.

A day after Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer rankled the administration of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie with allegations that his office withheld Superstorm Sandy relief funding over her refusal to push through a redevelopment project, she says that she met with the U.S. Attorney's Office.

"This afternoon I met with the U.S. Attorney's office for several hours at their request and provided them with my journal and other documents," She said in a statement.

Zimmer earlier today told CNN's Candy Crowley that she didn't speak out before because she didn't think anyone would believe her, adding that she is now "Offering to testify under oath." Ref. CNN

"Mayor (Dawn) Zimmer's version of our conversation in May of 2013 is not only false but is illogical and does not withstand scrutiny when all of the facts are examined.

"Any suggestion that Sandy funds were tied to the approval of any project in New Jersey is completely false," She said at a Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday event in Union Beach, New Jersey. Ref. CNN
