For the First Time, Mukasey Meets the Press

Attorney General Michael Mukasey sat down with reporters in a Justice Department conference room last week to address a range of topics involving the DOJ. The Friday event -- his first on-the-record session since being confirmed to the post -- came just days before he is scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee at an oversight hearing. No question was off-limits, but Mukasey balked at answering many related to interrogation methods -- a key topic likely to be raised by senators.
