Bill Baroni, born June 23, 1972, is an American lawyer and former political figure known primarily for his involvement in the Bridgegate scandal. As the Deputy Executive Director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Baroni was implicated in the controversial lane closures on the George Washington Bridge in 2013, which were later exposed as a politically motivated act of retribution. Reflecting his legalistic mindset, he once noted, “In the world of politics, you learn to expect the unexpected.” His involvement led to a high-profile investigation and legal consequences, casting a long shadow over his career in public service.
