Virginia's lieutenant governor denies sex assault allegation

At the Virginia state Capitol on Monday, Democratic Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of Virginia strongly denied an uncorroborated sexual assault allegation first published by a conservative website, calling the accusation a "smear" and "character assassination." His remarks Monday afternoon come as many Democrats are calling for Gov. Ralph Northam to resign over the revelation of racist yearbook photos from his time in medical school, which would elevate Fairfax to the governorship.

From 2013: One small step in the fight against pediatric cancer

Tracy Smith reports on the legacy of the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. (Originally broadcast on June 2, 2013.)
