Gov. Christie Could Testify At 'Bridgegate' Trial

TRENTON, NJ (CBS) – More than 200 prospective jurors will fill out questionnaires as jury selection gets underway in the so-called "Bridgegate" scandal.

Bridget Kelly, the former deputy chief of staff to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, and Port Authority executive Bill Baroni face federal charges.

Governor Christie could be called to testify.

Prosecutors say Kelly and Baroni closed lanes on the George Washington Bridge as payback for a Democratic north Jersey mayor refusing to endorse Christie for re-election.
