WASHINGTON — After collapsing during a speech on Thursday night at a hotel in Upper Northwest Washington, Atty. Gen. Michael Mukasey was hospitalized overnight.
Today he issued a statement to Department of Justice employees saying he was fine.
Here’s what he had to say:
Dear Colleagues,
As you may have heard, I collapsed briefly last night at the conclusion of a speech. All tests at the hospital have come back with good results, and I feel fine. Accordingly, I plan to report to the Department this afternoon and to continue doing the work I swore to do last November and which it has been an honor to do with you ever since.
Thank you for your good wishes and your good work. It has been and remains an honor to serve with you.
