The legal team representing the office of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) has in recent days asked officials in both Fort Lee, N.J. and Hoboken, N.J. to turn over records of their interactions with reporters covering the multiple Christie scandals.


Randy Mastro, the high-priced defense attorney retained by Christie's office, on Monday filed an open records request with the borough of Fort Lee, the town affected in September by the George Washington Bridge lane closures.

Mastro's request, which was obtained by TPM, asks for all documents and correspondence held by Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich and his staff related to the lane closures (which the request calls a "toll/lane realignment&quot , endorsements of Christie, meetings with members of Christie's re-election campaign, and the topic of access lanes to the bridge, generally. It also requests "all documents that Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich or members of his staff provided to the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, or other local or national print, internet, or television media since September 1, 2013 through the Present, regarding any of the above subjects." Fort Lee officials are currently reviewing the records request.

Mastro was hired to help Christie's office produce documents for the multiple investigations into the lane closures. But he is also helping the governor's office with its internal review of the incident.
