ACLU Letter Concerning Mukasey's Testimony Not to Comply with Contempt Citations (02/19/2008)
The American Civil Liberties Union is writing to express our concern about Attorney General Michael Mukasey’s recent testimony before the U.S. House of Representatives, in which he claimed the Department of Justice is not obliged to pursue a prosecution of criminal contempt against members of the Executive Branch who invoke executive privilege in refusing to provide testimony or documents to Congress. As you know, the House last week voted to approve contempt citations against White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten and former White House Counsel Harriet Miers for refusing to comply with congressional subpoenas regarding the firing of several United States attorneys.
