Conyers: Attorney General Mukasey Must Answer Congress about New Hampshire Phone Jamming
December 20, 2007 -- (Washington, DC) - Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) demanded answers from the Justice Department about allegations that department officials delayed a key indictment in the New Hampshire Phone Jamming case to minimize the political impact of the scandal on the 2004 election.
Questions about that issue were raised in a letter that Conyers and other Judiciary Committee members sent on October 3 to Acting Attorney General Keisler, and press reports yesterday include statements by a knowledgable official confirming the allegations. Today's letter to Attorney General Michael Mukasey demands answers to the questions posed in the first letter and seeks relevant documents and access to department officials with knowledge of the events.
