Fort Lee, N.J. Mayor Mark Sokolich met Friday with federal prosecutors who wanted to talk about the George Washington Bridge lane closures, Sokolich's attorney confirmed to TPM on Monday.

The meeting, which was first reported by The Wall Street Journal, was a voluntary one. In a statement, Sokolich's attorney declined to discuss details of his client's conversation with members of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the district of New Jersey.

"Since there is an ongoing criminal investigation, neither Mayor Sokolich nor I will comment on the substance of those discussions," attorney Tim Donohue wrote. "The Mayor is grateful for the efforts of the US Attorneys Office, and the Mayor and his entire administration will continue to cooperate fully with this investigation as well as the Select Committee's investigation."
