Five weeks after Tara Reade came forward, Joe Biden has finally addressed her account directly: “This absolutely did not happen”
Photo: Paul Morigi/Getty Images Joe Biden has finally directly addressed the allegations of sexual harassment and assault made by his former Senate staffer Tara Reade, denying them outright: “This absolutely did not happen,” he said in a statement. A spokesperson for the candidate had initially denied her account when it was made public a few weeks ago.
Since then, several more news outlets have reported on Reade’s story; in total, four people have come forward to say Reade told them about a traumatic incident at work, at or around the time she says it happened. Most recently, her former neighbor told Business Insider that Reade had told her in detail about the assault in 1995 or 1996, specifically naming Biden.
