Chris Christie is facing a new federal criminal investigation, ABC News reports. The U.S. Attorney's Office in New Jersey has launched a probe into the presidential hopeful as well as members of his administration, according to former Hunterdon County Assistant Prosecutor Bennett Barlyn. He says he was fired in 2010 after he pushed back against Christie administration officials who sought to dismiss indictments against the governor's political allies. Barlyn told ABC News he was questioned by federal authorities about Christie. "It is true," he said when asked if federal officials had contacted him. "I also provided the investigators with names of people I thought could furnish firsthand information." Read it at ABC News RIGHTEOUS FURY 5. Obama 'Has Offended Every Christian' At the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, President Obama told fellow Christians that their religion had been abused and misappropriated in the past just as Islam has been by terrorists in recent years. "In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ," he said. Critics, including many Republicans, were outraged. "The president's comments this morning at the prayer breakfast are the most offensive I've ever heard a president make in my lifetime," former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore told The Washington Post. "He has offended every believing Christian in the United States. This goes further to the point that Mr. Obama does not believe in America or the values we all share."
