Megathread: Joe Biden Denies Sexual Assault Allegations

Posted: 01 May 2020 06:51 AM PDT

Joe Biden addressed allegations of sexual assault by former Senate staffer Tara Reade for the first time Friday, saying in a statement: "They aren't true. This never happened." Biden also said he's requesting a search for Reade's alleged written complaint from 1993 to make available to the public if it exists.

The presumptive Democratic nominee faced mounting pressure to personally address Reade's allegation — and release decades-old Senate personnel records — even as key women and women's groups have vouched for his character, endorsed his candidacy and lined up to be considered as his running mate.
