The New Jersey Legislature's committee dedicated to investigating last September's lane closures on the George Washington Bridge is scheduled to meet in a closed session Tuesday, and a source in the State House told Business Insider it may issue more subpoenas soon.

So far, the committee has issued more than 30 subpoenas to individuals and organizations, including the office of Republican Gov. Chris Christie, his campaign operation, and several of his close aides.

The subpoenas requested documents and communications related to the closures, which caused days of paralyzing traffic in Fort Lee, N.J. In some cases, multiple subpoenas were issued to the same target asking for additional information. Some Democrats have alleged the lane closures were ordered by Christie's allies to retaliate against Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich for declining to endorse the governor's re-election bid.

Last Thursday, the committee sent out a statement saying it would meet Tuesday to "update members concerning the status of its investigation and convene in closed session."
