NJ judge rules against bridge scandal panel in subpoena fight

The pair objected to the requests on the basis that the act of searching for, identifying and turnover over records would violate their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination. They called the committee's requests a fishing expedition.

Jacobson agreed.
