10:45PM EST: Attorney General Michael Mukasey (an Orthodox Jew) has collapsed a short while ago - while giving a speech to the Federalist Society in Washington, according to three senior administration officials.
Details about Mukasey's condition were not immediately available.
Audience members said they began praying, fearing a stroke.
Mukasey is a former federal prosecutor from New York City who succeeded former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
At 10:30PM Eastern, medical officials were still working on him on the stage, administration witnesses said.
YWN reported the following in September 2007: YWN has learned that Mr. Mukasey graduated the RAMAZ Yeshiva - and a spokesperson for RAMAZ Yeshiva has in fact confirmed to YWN that Michael Mukasey graduated Ramaz in 1959. In addition, his wife Susan was a teacher and Headmistress of the Ramaz Lower School for many years.
He is also a prominent member of the Upper Manhattan Jewish community.
