I recently saw a photograph of his mother on MSNBC. I was taken aback because she seemed clearly to be a light-skinned black woman and I had never heard anyone mention that. Then, I found pictures of his sisters on the internet, who also look like their mother. One sister, married to a white man, has biological children who look like light-skinned blacks.
Even if there is no concrete evidence yet, I think this family has black roots somewhere in their history. I say this as someone who is African American who has people in my ancestry who "passed" for white in the early 20th century to escape racism.
