A concerned President Obama called star CBS News correspondent Lara Logan today as the White House called on the Egyptian government to bring the mob that attacked her to justice.
“The president called her late this morning” and expressed concern for her condition, a family friend told The Post.
CBS REPORTER’S CAIRO NIGHTMARE
In Washington, administration spokesman Jay Carney decried the sexual assault on Logan.
“We believe that those responsible for these acts – and obviously there was other violence – need to be held accountable,” he said.
Logan has wrapped herself in the comforting cocoon of home and family as she recovered from a violent sexual attack at the hands of a raging Egyptian mob.
With her husband Joe Burkett and son Joe by her side, Logan laid low today, a day after her release from the hospital and disclosure of her harrowing ordeal while covering street celebrations that followed the downfall of Egyptian strongman Hosni Mubarek.
“She’s OK,’ said a woman leaving the house, one of a four-person cleaning crew that had arrived earlier. Later, a deliveryman brought flowers to the front door of the couple’s spacious fieldstone and brick Tudor-style home.
Logan also huddled with a senior a colleague and pal, Kelli Halyard, head of CBS communications.
Halyard said neither Logan nor Burkett were ready to talk publicly.
