Scandal-plagued Virginia Attorney General-elect Jay Jones announced his transition team late Thursday, naming former Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam to help lead it.

Northam’s term , which preceded outgoing Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s, was enveloped in scandal in 2019 after the right-leaning news site Big League Politics released the governor’s page from the 1984 edition of the Eastern Virginia Medical School yearbook that depicted a person wearing blackface and another in a Ku Klux Klan hood.
