Biden Accuser Tara Reade Lawyers Up Ahead of Megyn Kelly Sitdown
Joe Biden accuser Tara Reade, who claims that the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee sexually assaulted her when she briefly worked in Biden’s Senate office almost three decades ago, has agreed to do a video interview with Megyn Kelly, Reade’s new attorney Douglas Wigdor announced Thursday in a press release.
Reade, 56, who has given widely differing accounts of her complaint against the former vice president and Delaware senator, had originally agreed to a May 3 interview with Fox News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace and then cancelled at the last minute, explaining that she wasn’t ready.
Biden has categorically denied Reade’s claims, saying during a May 1 MSNBC appearance that “it never, never happened.” Investigations by The New York Times and The Washington Post were unable to verify them. Senior members of Biden’s Senate staff said Reade never complained to them.
