Marisa Taylor and Greg Gordon, McClatchy Newspapers: "The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee demanded Tuesday that the attorney general provide an 'immediate explanation' for a Justice Department decision that could have cost taxpayers up to $40 million in royalties from a major oil company. In a letter to Attorney General Michael Mukasey, Conyers said charges that politics might have played a part in a decision favoring a major oil company 'must be taken seriously and thoroughly investigated.' Conyers said he wanted to question the officials involved in the case and that he sought access to all related records."
