Bridget Kelly

We haven't heard much recently from the Select Committee on Investigation, the legislative panel probing Bridgegate. That doesn't mean committee members have stopped looking into the scandal; in fact, quite the opposite, according to one of the committee's co-chairs.

The New York Times is reporting the Christie Administration's internal investigation into Bridgegate has concluded the governor did nothing wrong, a determination immediately challenged by Democratic critics.

In January, Gov. Chris Christie fired deputy chief of staff Bridget Kelly after a Bridgegate email she apparently sent was made public: "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee." Kelly has been out of the public eye ever since, but showed up for a court hearing Tuesday even though she was not required to attend.

Lawyers for Bridget Kelly and Bill Stepien, two key players in the ongoing Bridgegate scandal were in court Tuesday to make the case as to why their clients should not be compelled to turn over subpoenaed documents to the legislative committee probing the issue. Kelly's attorney says granting his client immunity would speed up the process.

It's now up to a judge whether two key figures in a political payback scandal ensnaring Gov. Chris Christie's administration will have to turn over text messages and other private communications to New Jersey lawmakers investigating the case.

A former aide to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says in legal papers that there's a "real and substantial threat" of self-incrimination if she gives state lawmakers records they have requested from her as they look into a political payback scandal involving Christie's office.

More than a dozen new subpoenas will be issued as part of the ongoing Bridgegate investigation, a joint legislative committee announced following a hearing in Trenton on Monday.
