Two women, Vanessa Tyson and Meredith Watson, have given national television interviews to detail their allegations of sexual assault against Virginia Democratic Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax.
Tyson's interview aired Monday morning on CBS, and Watson's is scheduled for the following day. They mark the first televised interviews with the women since they came forward in February amid Virginia Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam's separate controversy sparked by a decades-old racist yearbook photo.
Fairfax has issued a categorical denial of the allegations and his office has said he has taken two polygraph exams in an effort to show he is telling the truth.
