PolitickerNJ reports that U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie and former attorney general John Ashcroft will not testify in front of a House Judiciary subcommittee next week about a lucrative federal monitoring contact Christie gave to Ashcroft. The Justice Department is refusing to say whether or not it barred Christie from testifying. The hearing has been postponed until next month.
UPDATE: Marcy Wheeler has more.
