Muhammad said a “staff member” for the Congressional Black Caucus contacted him “sort of in a panic” after he took the photo at a caucus meeting in 2005. Asked whether he thought the photo’s release would have affected Obama’s presidential campaign, Muhammad said, “It absolutely would have made a difference.
Askia Muhammad said that he “gave the picture up at the time and basically swore secrecy. After the nomination was secured and all the way up until the inauguration; then for eight years after he was President, it was kept under cover.”
