AUDIE CORNISH, HOST:
The New Jersey attorney general has announced the creation of a special task force that will investigate clergy sexual abuse in that state’s Catholic diocese. The task force will also look at any efforts to cover up abuse. The announcement came just hours after news broke that the New York attorney general’s office had issued subpoenas to every Catholic diocese in the state. And at least three other states also have investigations underway. Gurbir Grewal is the New Jersey attorney general. He joins us now. Welcome to the program.
GURBIR GREWAL: Good afternoon. Thanks for having me.
CORNISH: So was your move essentially inspired by what happened in Pennsylvania?
