Reuters reporters have not inspected the card in person. The paper said her office did not dispute the card's authenticity. On a line listed for race Warren wrote 'American Indian.' The Post reported that Warren apologized during an interview for identifying herself as a Native American. A photograph of the card posted online by the newspaper shows that Warren listed the university and law school she attended.
The yellow registration card, which is dated April 1986, was filled out in blue ink and signed by Warren, the Post reported.
The disclosure marks the latest twist in a controversy surrounding Warren and her claims to Native American ancestry as she raises money and hires staff ahead of an expected formal launch to her 2020 campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. Democratic presidential contender Elizabeth Warren identified herself as an 'American Indian' in hand-writing on her 1986 registration card for the State Bar of Texas, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday.
