New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was offered a number of positions within the new Trump administration – though not the gig he wanted, attorney general – and so he turned them all down.

Two sources told NJ.com that Christie could have been Homeland Security secretary, Veterans Affairs secretary, the U.S. ambassador to Italy or a White House adviser.

Those same sources said that the New Jersey governor wasn't offered the role of attorney general, which went to Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., one of the earliest cabinet decisions the president-elect made.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was reportedly offered jobs within the Trump administration, but now the coveted job of attorney general

Christie was also interested in filling the shows of Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, leaving the helm of the GOP to become Trump's incoming White House chief of staff.

The governor also won't be getting that position and so will likely finish out his second term in New Jersey, which, because of term limits, will be his last.

Because of Trump's Atlantic City casino connections, the president-elect and the New Jersey governor have known each other for 15 years.

Christie was one of the first major Republican Party figures to back Trump in the primary, as he endorsed the billionaire shortly after giving up on his own White House dreams.

Trump paid back Christie the favor by naming him the head of the Trump transition team.

However, in recent weeks, Christie has reportedly been on the outs with members of Trump's team.

He was replaced by Vice President-elect Mike Pence as head of the transition and made a vice-chair instead.

The New York Times reported that some of Trump's advisers were becoming wary of Christie, as two of his former aides were found guilty on all counts that were related to the George Washington Bridge closures, the scandal dubbed 'Bridge-gate.'

Christie was also reportedly demoted after irritating Trump on election night, trying to squeeze into pictures with the newly-elected president, while the family and campaign staff was up onstage.

'Trump got annoyed,' a source told Yahoo News.

Christie's fall within the ranks of team Trump wasn't, however, a power play by Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, who said in an interview with Forbes that the two men had buried that hatchet.

Christie had, as a U.S. attorney in 2005, jailed Kushner's father on tax evasion.

'Six months ago Governor Christie and I decided this election was much bigger than any differences we may have had in the past, and we worked very well together,' Kushner told the business magazine.

By late November, Christie seemed to know his political fate would be to remain in New Jersey.
