John Cook · 04/17/09 12:14PMRevealed: Mukasey's Synagogue a Victim of Madoff
cityfile · 12/17/08 09:30AMMoments ago, U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey confirmed that he will be recusing himself from the ongoing investigation into Bernie Madoff. The Justice Department didn't specify a specific reason for his decision to step aside—early reports have suggested that Mukasey's son, Marc, may be planning to represent a defendant in the case.

U.S. Attorney General Collapses During Speech
Ryan Tate · 11/21/08 04:05AMAlberto Gonzalez's replacement at the Justice Department, Michael Mukasey, stuttered and slurred his words before collapsing during a speech at the conservative Federalist Society Thursday night.
