that's all ahead. >> looking forward to that. we begin with a new allegation in the growing scandal in virginia's state government. one week after a racist photo led to calls for the governor to resign. on friday, governor ralph northam once again said he would not step down. at the same time, the man who would replace him, lieutenant governor justin fairfax, faced intensifying demands for his resignation. now a second woman is accusing fairfax of sexual assault. >> meanwhile, the person who is next in line for the governor's office, attorney general mark herring, this week admitted he once wore blackface at a party in the 1980s. nicole killian has the latest. >> reporter: all three are democrats, and the demands for northam and fairfax to resign are mostly coming from within their own party. now in the case of fairfax, democratic lawmakers could take steps to remove him from office. >> it is a crime.

sexual assault is a crime. rape is a crime. i believe he's unfit for office. >> reporter: virginia democratic delegate patrick hope will introduce articles of impeachment monday against justin fairfax if the lieutenant governor hasn't resigned by then. is this a rush to judgment? >> no, i don't believe it's a rush to judgment at all. not just one person, two people. very believable statements. putting their lives and careers on the line to make these statements. this is a pattern of behavior. >> reporter: every democrat in the state legislature called on fairfax to leave office friday after a second woman accused him of sexual assault. in a statement issued by her lawyers, meredith watson says fairfax raped her in 2000 in a, quote, premeditated and aggressive attack when both were duke university students. fairfax quickly responded. in a statement, he denied the new accusation as demonstrably false and said has, quote, never forced myself on anyone ever.

earlier he denied an allegation by vanessa tyson who said he forced her to perform oral sex on her in 2004. fairfax maintains he will not resign. ralph northam told employees in a letter he intends to stay in office. last week a racist photo from his medical school yearbook surfaced. northam initially said he was in the picture only to backtrack later, then acknowledge he once wore blackface. on friday, the governor met with the president of the national black farmers association. >> based on my conversation with the governor today, i believe what he's saying. and i believe that the governor should be given another chance to govern in virginia. >> reporter: when the racist photo appeared last week, democrats here at the state house called on northam to resign. much like they're doing now with justin fairfax. one democratic lawmaker is breaking ranks with his caucus and says northam shouldn't resign unless a crime was

committed. that being said, there's a lot at stake politically, michelle. if all three of these officials were to resign, then the republican speaker of the house would become governor. >> a lot at stake there. nicole, thank you. acting attorney general matthew whitaker told congress he has not interfered with special counsel robert mueller's russia investigation of the 2016 presidential election. there was combative testimony on friday. democrats grilled whitaker about any conversations he had with president trump. steve dorsey is at the white house. steve, what can you tell us? >> reporter: good morning. the trump administration got its first glimpse of what life will be like now that democrats control the house, with acting attorney general matthew whitaker facing six hours of scrutiny by democrats on the judiciary committee prompting some tense exchanges. >> do you swear, affirm under -- >> reporter: from the beginning, the country's top law

enforcement official made it clear he was not there to answer tough questions from democratic lawmakers wanting to get to the bottom of his role in the mueller probe. >> now in your capacity as acting attorney general, have you ever been asked to approve any requests or action to be taken by the special counsel? >> mr. chairman, i see that your five minutes is up. and so -- >> reporter: whitaker denied interfering in the investigat n investigationy about refused to answer -- in the investigation but refused to answer most questions. >> as you know, i cannot talk about ongoing conversation. i'm not a puppet to repeat what you're saying. >> reporter: frustrated democrats tried unsuccessfully to pin down whitaker. >> i'm asking you a question -- i control this time. >> i have -- >> if you want to ask for time -- this is my time. >> reporter: republicans accused democrats of a dog-and-pony show. >> we're going to have theatrics. bring your popcorn. i'm thinking we set up a popcorn machine in the back because this

is what it's become. >> reporter: whitaker replaced jeff sessions in november. the president accused him for recusing himself from the justice probe. >> wanisn't it a fact that care officials at doj recommended to you that you recuse yourself? >> it was my decision to make. i decided not to recuse. >> reporter: before his appointment he had been an outspoken critic of the mueller probe. the reason many democrats believe they picked him. >> is this a lynch mob? >> where did i say that? >> august, 2017, you made a note to trump's lawyer "do not cooperate with mueller's lynch mob"? >> i re-tweeted an article that was titled that. i did not necessarily agree with that position -- >> reporter: the senate is expected to confirm whitaker's permanent replacement, william

barr, soon. meanwhile, the president hasn't weighed in on whitaker's hearing. he spent much of the day at walter reed medical center for his annual physical where doctors deemed him in very good health. anthony? >> thanks. and sahil kapur joins us. national political reporter for "bloomberg news." good morning. >> good morning. >> as always, a lot to talk about. let's start with the mess in virginia. with both the governor and lieutenant governor facing bipartisan calls for resignation, how do they get out of this mess? >> it's a train wreck for virginia democrats at this point. they are facing calls to resign. the top three democrats in virginia are facing bipartisan calls to step aside. if they do that, they would be handing over power to the republican speaker of the house in a redistricting psych wrel they're redrawing the map. they're hanging tight. they've taken a somber, somewhat apologetic tone. it's not clear any are going to step aside. >> what about the national stage for democrats? obviously in virginia it could be a succession crisis if they have to go to a republican next.

what about on the national stage? >> national democrats are cognizant, they don't want to be tied in with this. that's why some are calling on colleagues to resign. yesterday five democrats in the virginia congressional delegation said the lieutenant governor has to go. keep in mind, the democratic party is being held to account increasingly by a base of african-americans and women who have no colorance for racism and -- no tolerance for racism and sexual assault. >> you wrote a note on the 2020 presidential candidates. are the democrats' field, is it too far to the left? is there room for a moderate? >> there may be in a large field, but democrats have decided to thrown incrementalism in the trash can. they're returning to the roots of fdr where they want to increase taxes sharply on wealthy people to mitigate income inequality and to use the funds to expand the safety net. medicare for all and debt-free college, even a wealth tax senator warren has proposed on assets above $50 million have gained traction within the party.

>> we just saw the house judiciary committee hearing with acting attorney general whitaker, which was contentious as we saw in the piece. what's your takeaway in terms of what the mood is going to be in congress and hearings like this going forward? >> he was defiant. he was clearly playing to an audience of one, as many people in the trump administration do when they're testifying. he said he had not interfered in the russia investigation which is significant, but he did not get into his role in controversial decisions made at the justice department like the firing of james comey and the family separation policy. >> more fireworks probably to come wherever we see hearings like that. thank you. >> thank you. winter storm warnings are in effect across the pacific northwest as cold winds and snowy weather spread from the sierra-nevada to washington state and northwest montana. as much as eight inches of snow fell on some seattle suburbs friday causing hazardous travel conditions for many drivers. in other parts of the state, snow flurries blanketed

residential neighborhoods, transforming local landscapes into seas of white. carter evans has the latest. good morning. i believe snowmegeddon may be one of the terms they've used for this one. >> reporter: good morning, this is an unusual sight in seattle. we are at the world-famous pike street market. you see three to four inches on the ground with another two to six inches in the forecast by the time this is done. governor jay inslee has declared a state of emergency. one county official called this storm a once in a decade or two event. about six inches of snow fell at sea-tac airport. a snowball fight between workers on the tarmac. an unusual sight there. at least 200 flights were cancelled to accommodate the winter weather. people cleared store shelves as they rushed to prepare. one person described fights breaking out at crowded checkout lines. as the storm moved in, it

"no," hassan saleh told us, insisting he only sold sweets. what did you do? this man said he was a simple food seller. you don't look well.

are you sick? were you injured in fighting? "no, i was tortured by isis for texting my uncle," ammar ahmed told us. he said they were frightened to leave because isis would punish anyone trying to escape. it's hard to know who's telling the truth. under strict instructions not to point our camera in that direction, but around 100 yards away we found u.s. and coalition special forces part of the vital process to weed on out and take away any isis suspects. they have fled by the thousands in recent weeks as u.s. forces and allies tighten the noose on the last sliver of territory under isis control. one woman told us that her husband had been killed in an air strike, and in the end she had nothing to feed her three children but grass. the suffering finally reached a point that survival alone became the only option left. for "cbs this morning saturday,"
