NEWARK, N.J.—A onetime aide to former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was resentenced on April 24, to 13 months—down from 18—for her role in the George Washington Bridge lane-closing scandal.

Bridget Kelly, dabbing her eyes with a tissue at points during the resentencing hearing in federal court in Newark, cried as she asked the judge to consider the impact on her children and impose a sentence of home confinement.
