A year removed from the Supreme Court’s tossing of her conviction in New Jersey's ‘Bridgegate’ case, Bridget Kelly is seeking to resurrect her political career.

(CNN) - Bill Baroni, a former New Jersey official convicted in the Bridgegate scandal, was released from prison Monday afternoon following a court order, his lawyer Stephen Orlofsky told CNN. On Friday, the Supreme Court agreed to hear former Christie aide Bridget Anne Kelly's appeal. Baroni identified himself as a respondent in Kelly's appeal, and requested to be released on bail pending the outcome of the case. "We're delighted that Mr. Baroni has been released and we look forward to argument in the Supreme Court," Orlofsky said. Kelly said in a statement last Friday that she is "grateful and encouraged" the Supreme Court decided to hear her case.
