(November 21, 2008-- Doctors have given Attorney General Michael Mukasey a clean bill of health and a Justice Department spokeswoman said Mukasey should be released from the hospital later Friday morning.

Mukasey was hospitalized Thursday night after collapsing and briefly losing consciousness while giving a speech.

Justice Department spokeswoman Gina Talamona, briefing reporters on Mukasey's condition in the wake of his collapse during a speech Thursday night, says he checked out well through a series of medical tests.

“The results are in. Everything looks great,” she said.

She said the 67-year-old Mukasey passed a treadmill stress test, a stress echocardiogram, and an MRI.

She also said that doctors have ruled a condition related to a stroke or a cardiac problem.

She said the doctors said "he's in good shape," and that he expected to leave George Washington University Hospital some time Friday and return to the Justice Department.
