New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Monday will call out action movies and Edward Snowden for concocting "baloney" about the federal government's domestic spy practices.
The second-term governor and presumed presidential candidate will visit New Hampshire Monday to deliver a speech about national security. In it, Christie will call for boosting military spending, and he will push back against "civil liberties extremists" who have criticized the National Security Agency's snooping, according to pre-released text of the address.
