Analysis: What we know about Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden
Biden issued his statement minutes before he addressed the allegation publicly Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe," saying: “It’s not true. I’m saying unequivocally it never, never happened, and it didn’t. It never happened.”Biden said if Reade filed a personnel complaint at the time, it would be in the National Archives, and he urged the National Archives to search for any release any such complaint.“I’m confident there’s nothing.
On Friday, Biden said the papers at the University of Delaware actually contain his public speeches and papers and transcripts of private conversations with world leaders, not personnel documents related to the management of his Senate office. Reade told The Post she told a therapist earlier this year about what she says happened. The Post asked Reade for the therapist’s notes of that conversation, but she has not produced them.
Biden is in the process of searching for a vice presidential candidate, who he’s promised will be a woman, and some of the potential candidates have focused their comments on how they believe women have the right to be heard while in the next breath defending Biden. “I think this case has been investigated,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar , who has worked to bring sexual assault cases to light, said on MSNBC, adding, “I know the vice president as a major leader on domestic abuse. I worked with him on that.”
