NJ Governor Sherrill Halts Travel as Caldwell Faces Internal Probe
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has suspended out-of-state travel to prevent Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell from assuming acting governor duties during an ongoing internal investigation into his conduct. Public records show Sherrill allowed Caldwell to serve as acting governor for 18 days before the probe was disclosed, despite retaining a legal team for the inquiry. Caldwell has hired personal counsel and denied wrongdoing, while Sherrill has maintained a strategy of silence regarding the investigation's specifics.
