Virginia Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax, a Democrat, vigorously denied allegations of sexual assault on Feb. 4 as Gov. Ralph Northam met with his cabinet amid mounting calls for Northam to resign over a racist yearbook photo.
In a lengthy statement, Fairfax—who is next in line to be governor if Northam, also a Democrat, decides to resign—hit back at the allegation that he sexually assaulted a woman at a 2004 Democratic National Convention.
