Attorney General Michael Mukasey was taken to the GW Hospital Thursday night after collapsing during a speech at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Northwest, D.C. At about midnight, a Justice Department official held an impromptu press conference in Washington Circle in front of the hospital, surrounded by about 20 television and print reporters.
The spokeswoman, Gina Talamona, said the attorney general was conscious and alert in the hospital. The Post has the full story.
Last month, Vice President Dick Cheney attracted national attention to the GW Hospital when he checked in for an atrial fribulation.
