Excerpt:
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said he found a report of NYPD surveillance operation targeting Muslims in Newark "disturbing."
Christie said he doesn't recall ever being briefed about the spying in 2007 while he was the state's top federal prosecutor. He said the NYPD would not have jurisdiction in the state unless itw as working with the Joint Terrorism Task Force in Newark or another agency.
Newark Mayor Cory Booker and his top police official say the city was misled by the NYPD and never would have authorized such wholesale spying on Muslims if they had known about it. Booker called the reports "deeply disturbing."
