Senate Rejects Request to Search Records for Tara Reade Complaints Against Joe Biden

HeadlineMay 05, 2020

Back in the United States, the secretary of the U.S. Senate rejected a request from Joe Biden to search for and release any possible records of a complaint by Tara Reade following an alleged sexual assault in 1993. Tara Reade recently publicly accused Joe Biden of the assault, which she says happened when she worked in then-Senator Biden’s office. Joe Biden has denied the allegation. Reade said she made complaints about Biden’s inappropriate behavior but did not bring up the sexual assault. Reporters have called for Biden’s senatorial records at the University of Delaware to be searched, but Biden has refused to make such a request, and the papers are sealed to the public.
