Legislators reportedly tracking Chris Christie's helicopter travel


TRENTON, N.J., Feb. 11 (UPI) -- 
New Jersey legislators appear to be looking for information on whether Gov. Chris Christie flew over the massive traffic jams in Fort Lee.


The State Police Aviation Unit received a subpoena for information, the (Hackensack) Record reported. A source told the newspaper legislators want to know if Christie flew over the George Washington Bridge.

The unit is responsible for the governor's helicopter. During the four days when access lanes to the bridge in Fort Lee were closed, Christie made three trips in South Jersey and one, on the first day of the closings, from a memorial service in New York for the 2001 terrorist attacks back to Trenton.

Legislators are also trying to find out if anyone involved in the lane closings was in the helicopter with the governor. Christie was photographed at the New York event with Doug Wildstein, the Port Authority official who resigned after the bridgegate scandal broke, but Wildstein did not fly back to Trenton with him, the governor's office says.

Other subpoenas have gone to Christie's director of operations and director of constituent relations.
