PARSIPPANY, N.J. (AP) — Republican Gov. Chris Christie is refusing to comment on his New York Democratic counterpart's recent troubles or their impact on the Republican candidate trying to unseat him.

Christie swatted back questions from reporters Friday on allegations New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo improperly interfered with a corruption panel he convened.

"I don't comment on other people's investigations," Christie said.

The New York Times reported this week that the Manhattan U.S. attorney has threatened to investigate Cuomo for obstruction of justice or witness tampering for allegedly asking members of the Moreland Commission on Public Corruption to speak out about their work. The newspaper previously reported Cuomo's administration had interfered with the commission's work.
