From the piece:

“Kelly’s and Baroni’s lawyers have long criticized federal prosecutors for not challenging those redactions or omissions. Now, they have subpoena power to force Gibson Dunn to turn over those documents, including previously withheld emails sent between key Christie allies during the week of the lane closures in September 2013.”
