ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) - Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax made an appearance at a northern Virginia courtroom in an effort to clear his name from sexual assault allegations.
Fairfax is suing CBS for libel in federal court in Alexandria after it aired interviews with the two women who have accused him.
CBS lawyers asked a judge at Friday's hearing to dismiss the lawsuit. CBS' lawyers say they reported the allegations fairly and allowed Fairfax to respond.
Fairfax says CBS has continued to ignore evidence contradicting the women's allegations and that its reporting insinuated his guilt.
The judge will rule on CBS' motion to dismiss at a later date.
