Breaking: AG Mukasey Collapses At Washington Dinner

Attorney Gen. Michael Mukasey collapsed this evening while giving a speech at the Federalist Society National Lawyers Convention at the Marriott Wardman in Washington.

Sources who were in the room tell On Call that Mukasey's speech was slurred before he collapsed and that efforts were made on site to revive him.

Mark R. Filip serves as Mukasey's deputy. A former federal judge from Chicago and partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, Filip was confirmed March 3, 2008. He graduated from Harvard Law School in 1992.
