J. Scott Jennings, Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Director, Office of Political Affairs to Karl Rove, Kyle Sampson, Fred Fielding, et al., February 28th, 2007: "[Sen. Domenici's Chief of Staff Steve] Bell said Domenici's idea is not to respond [to Iglesias's accusations], and hopefully make this a one day story. They have already been contacted by McClatchy ... They have not confirmed to the reporter they were one of the Members."

In a brief interview Thursday, Domenici also denied the accusation. "I don't have any comment," he told The Associated Press. "I have no idea what he's talking about."
