JUST IN: Eastern Virginia Medical School says an 'independent investigation' into racist picture that appeared on 1984 yearbook page of Gov. Northam could not reach conclusive determination on origin of the photo or whether Northam is seen in the photo.
An independent investigation into a racist photo on Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam's 1984 medical school yearbook page"could not conclusively determine" whether he appeared in the picture, according to the findings released Wednesday.
While investigators noted that Northam has made"inconsistent public statements" about his participation in the photo, which features a person in blackface and another in a Ku Klux Klan robe, they were unable to find anyone who could shed light on the image on the governor's personal page in his Eastern Virginia Medical School yearbook.
