Mukasey faces contempt citation
A House panel threatened to cite Atty. Gen. Michael B. Mukasey with contempt of Congress unless he produced documents from an FBI interview with Vice President Dick Cheney regarding the leak of a CIA agent’s identity.

Waxman’s panel and the House Judiciary Committee are subpoenaing some of the same documents involving the leak of CIA agent Valerie Plame’s identity.
