The mystery over what happened to the cellphone New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie used during the aftermath of the George Washington Bridge lane-closing scandal appears to have added another chapter.

Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher, the law firm representing Christie's office in the federal probe of the lane closings, said in a court filing it returned the phone after it searched the device for any material responsive to a government subpoena.

While the specific language in Tuesday's filing doesn't say the phone was returned to Christie, it appears to contradict Christie's statement last month that he gave the phone to the government as part of the subpoena and didn't know who had it.

"After preserving the Governor's phone's contents, GDC searched for any responsive material and, once the search was completed, returned the phone and non-responsive data," the firm wrote.
