WASHINGTON – Attorney General Michael Mukasey was given a "clean bill of health" and went back to work Friday after his harrowing collapse at a late-night dinner speech.

The 67-year-old Mukasey, accompanied by his wife, Susan, told reporters and cameras at midday Friday that he felt "excellent" as he stepped into a van for a ride back to the Justice Department.

Mukasey never transferred his authority to a deputy during the time when he was rushed to George Washington University Hospital late Thursday and while there under observation during the night. He passed a host of tests Friday, he said, including a treadmill stress test, an MRI and a CT scan.

"As you may have heard, I collapsed briefly last night at the conclusion of a speech," the retired federal judge said in a late-morning e-mail to his departmental staff.
