WATCH: Did Northam Leak Sexual Assault Allegation Against His Own Lt. Governor? Lt. Gov. Fairfax Seems To Think So.

On Monday morning, Virginia Democratic Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax issued a strong statement denying an allegation of sexual assault. Later in the day, Lt. Gov. Fairfax suggested to the press that Governor Ralph Northam (D-VA) was behind the leaked allegation in an attempt to sully his name.

Notably, Fairfax is next in line to take over as the state’s governor if Northam were to answer calls for his own resignation.
