The husband of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will ignore a subpoena and refuse to testify tomorrow in an abuse-of-power investigation into his wife, the Republican candidate for vice president.

Todd Palin had been subpoenaed to appear before Alaska lawmakers to testify about whether Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan was fired because he refused to dismiss a state trooper who had gone through a bitter divorce with Sarah Palin's sister.

McCain-Palin spokesman Ed O'Callaghan said Thursday that Todd Palin no longer believes the Legislature's investigation is legitimate. She initially welcomed the investigation but now opposes since Sen. John McCain picked her as his running mate.
