“The Democratic political boss George Norcross had a front-row seat to the bombshell criminal allegations levied against him on Monday — literally,” Politico reports.
“Norcross arrived uninvited to the press conference hosted by New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin, who alleges Norcross is the leader of a longstanding criminal racket centered on South Jersey Democratic politics. The multi-millionaire political boss sat at the seat closest to the podium where Platkin spoke, staring him down alongside an entourage of defense attorneys, watching the entirety of the press conference.”
“The silver-haired Norcross has a legendary reputation in New Jersey politics. His power is concentrated in South Jersey, where for decades he has ruled Democratic politics with an iron fist, but his influence over lawmakers has the ability to make-or-break the legislative agenda of governors.”
