Another angle: In the same interview, on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Mr. Trump wouldn’t commit to making public the results of the special counsel’s investigation into Russian ties to his campaign. The law doesn’t require the Justice Department to release Robert Mueller’s report.

Mr. Northam denied being one of the two men in the picture — one in blackface and the other in a Ku Klux Klan robe — after originally saying he was.

State lawmakers from both parties said on Sunday that Mr. Northam’s fragile hold on power risked jeopardizing Democrats’ policy ambitions for the fall, when control of both of Virginia’s legislative chambers will be up for grabs.
