"I wish he would (withdraw from the race)," Reade said. "But he won't. But I wish he would. That's how I feel emotionally."
WASHINGTON — Tara Reade, the woman who has accused Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her in the 1990s, told Megyn Kelly in her first on-camera interview since Biden publicly denied her claim that she wishes he would drop out of the race.Reade has also secured the services of a law firm that has represented women who accused movie mogul Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault.
In a preview of the interview released on Twitter Thursday afternoon, Reade said she wishes the former vice president would drop out of the race but said it was"a little late" for an apology from him. Reade was asked about the comparison being made between her case and that of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault during his Supreme Court confirmation in 2018. Reade said she would"absolutely" be willing to go under oath and be cross examined.
Wigdor LLP, a firm that has also represented Weinstein accusers, will represent Reade. Douglas Wigdor, a founding partner of the firm, also was a vocal advocate for Blasey Ford 2018. "This, never, ever happened," he said. "I don't know what is motivating her ... But it's irrelevant. It never happened. It never happened. Period."
