Waxman Asks for Criminal Probe of Alleged Juicer

From The Los Angeles Times:

Congress asked the Justice Department to investigate whether former AL MVP Miguel Tejada lied to House committee staff when he was interviewed in 2005 in connection with the Rafael Palmeiro steroids case.

House Oversight and Government Committee chairman Henry Waxman opened today’s hearing into the Mitchell Report about drug use in baseball by announcing that he and ranking minority member Tom Davis sent a letter to Attorney General Michael Mukasey today.

You can read the letter, which walks through the interview with Tejada, here (pdf).
