The New Jersey state legislative committee has
issued 18 additional subpoenas including one to
the New Jersey State Police aviation unit. The
committee wants to review Christie’s helicopter
flight records and speak with the pilots to
determine if Christie had flew over the Fort Lee
traffic jam.
The governor’s office has confirmed that
Christie did take a flight in the vicinity on
September 11th when he attended a ceremony at
the World Trade Center when he arrived and
departed by helicopter and returned back to
Trenton, the state’s capital. The governor’s
office would not be specific on the exact route
of flight. During the ceremony at the World
Trade Center, Christie was photographed laughing
with David Wildstein.
Fort Lee lane closures began on September 9th
and ordered reopened by New York Governor Andrew
Cuomo appointee, Patrick Foye, executive
director of the Port Authority on September 13.
Governor Christie has stated repeatedly that he
knew nothing of the lane closures (Bridgegate)
and it was his staff that was behind the
political scandal.
