Justice had concerns about Heffelfinger's work on Indian issues

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Justice Department had concerns about the amount of time that former U-S attorney for Minnesota Tom Heffelfinger spent on American Indian issues.
That's according to testimony at a House Judiciary Committee hearing today by Monica Goodling, the Justice Department's former White House liaison.
It's the first public possible explanation of why Heffelfinger, who resigned last year, was put on a list of prosecutors to be considered for dismissal.
Goodling made the comment in response to a question by Minnesota congressman Keith Ellison.
Heffelfinger says it's the first time he heard any reason that the Justice Department had any dissatisfaction with his performance. He says he did devote a lot of time to Indian issues, and that his time was warranted.
