The Assembly committee announced the subpoenas on Friday. Tom Hester, the Assembly Democratic Majority Office's communications director, said that it is "not a complete list."
PolitickerNJ reported Thursday that at least 17 individuals and three organizations were served with subpoenas. Bridget Kelly, Christie's former deputy chief of staff who is widely expected to be subpoenaed, was on PolitickerNJ's list but was not among the individuals listed in Friday's Assembly announcement.
Friday's list includes a wide range of top administration officials, top officials from Christie's 2013 re-election campaign, and officials from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. It does not include Christie himself, but the "Office of the Governor" is a target.
All of the subpoenas disclosed on Friday were for documents related to the lane closures. More subpoenas are expected in the future for testimony.
Here are the 13 targets of the subpoenas identified Friday:
- Kevin O'Dowd, Chief of Staff to Governor Christie, and Christie's designee to serve as Attorney General
- Charlie McKenna, Chief Counsel to the Governor
- Maria Comella, Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications and Planning
- Regina Egea, Director of the Authorities Unit and designee to replace O'Dowd as Chief of Staff
- Christina Genovese, Bridget Kelly's director of departmental relations. Kelly was the Deputy Chief of Staff for Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs until last week, when Christie fired her.
- Michael Drewniak, Communications Director
- Colin Reed, Deputy Communications Director
- Bill Stepien, manager of Christie's 2013 campaign and Christie's designee to serve as Chairman of the New Jersey Republican Party, until he withdrew last week
- David Samson, Chairman of the Port Authority
- Bill Baroni, Deputy Executive Director of the Port Authority until he resigned in late 2013, and a Christie appointee
- Evan Ridley, Christie aide
- David Wildstein, the former Port Authority Director of Interstate Capital Projects and a Christie ally
- The "Office of the Governor" - the subpoena is addressed to the Custodian of Records, for calendar logs, video and audio recordings, call and visitor logs, and all communications
Matt Mowers, the executive director of the New Hampshire Republican Party and a former Christie administration and campaign aide, has also been subpoenaed, according to a statement released by the New Hampshire GOP on Thursday.
The Assembly committee is investigating the evolving George Washington Bridge scandal and the motivation for the closure of two access lanes onto the bridge from Fort Lee, N.J., in September. Christie's political opponents have charged that the closings were politically motivated. New documents released last week showed that Kelly, Christie's former deputy chief of staff, was deeply involved in the decision to close the lanes.
