While Mukasey, 67, was talking, his speech began to slur and he then became rigid.
Two people grabbed him and laid him on the ground behind the podium, where he was given medical attention before he was rushed to George Washington Medical Center.
A spokesman for the Justice Department said Mukasey was breathing when he was transported to the hospital and was being evaluated in the hospital's emergency room. His condition was not immediately known.
I hope he's okay.
