A grand jury is now hearing testimony in the federal criminal probe into the George Washington Bridge lane-closings scandal, according to Anthony Iacullo, the lawyer for Gov. Chris Christie’s spokesman, Michael Drewniak, who added that Drewniak appeared before the grand jurors today and testified as a witness.
Legal experts say the hearing of grand-jury testimony is an important development that means U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman has accumulated enough evidence to move past a preliminary inquiry into the controversial lane closings and into a grand jury investigation of them.
“The fact that there is an active grand-jury investigation does mean that the government is taking the inquiry seriously enough to bring witnesses before the grand jury,” said Joseph Hayden, a prominent defense lawyer and former state prosecutor, “but it does not mean any decision has been made as to whether or not there has been a federal offense or whether there is a provable case.
“It’s indicative that the investigation is ramping up,” he added.
Iacullo stressed that Drewniak is a witness in Fishman’s investigation,
