Former head of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice Bradley Schlozman doesn’t remember an alert from the U.S. attorney in Minnesota that Native American voters might be the target of voter discrimination. Los Angeles Times profiled the U.S. attorney from Minnesota, Thomas Heffelfinger, last week who was named on one of the firings lists. Schlozman tried to discredit the story today in his testimony, but also said he never spoke about the case with anyone and does not remember any details. (This was just after Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) pointed out that he remembers less than U.S. Attorney Alberto Gonzales did during his testimony.)
